The US Federal Communications Commission might soon impose a fine of $25,000 from internet giant, Google for not cooperating with an investigation into the incidents when the company accidently collected personal data over wireless networks.

A FCC filing dated April 13 said that the company impeded and delayed the investigations. The investigations were relating to the collection of e-mail, text messages, and other private material through Google Street view vans in different parts of the US as well as other countries around the world.

Google responded by saying that it did cooperate with the federal agency investigators. "We disagree with the FCC's characterization of our cooperation in their investigation and will be filing a response" Google said in a statement.

It also said that it worked in good faith to answer the questions put forward by the FCC. Google pointed out that the investigations found that the company did not violate any law. Google had admitted to collecting private data in May 2010 as its Street View vans drove through the streets in cities and towns across 30 countries and gathered 600GB worth of information over seven years.

The FCC has claimed that the fine is not for penalizing Google for violating laws against unauthorized interception of communications.
