AFAIK from working at AT&T Wireless prior to the merger announcement, 
internal staff have that information and the NOC can help the 
authorities with triangulation if the proper warrants are submitted. But 
the public's access to this info is limited to the FCC registration that 
you've already found. mMode used to (and may still) have a "find 
friends" service that allowed you to get a rough idea of your friend's 
physical location based on the base station it's connecting to -- 
naturally, your friend has to allow you to access that info and you 
still get alerts that they've done so.
