I've posted this in the Suggestions forum, but General gets more traffic, so here ya go.

Right now information sharing combines LOS principles with Radar sensors. If you are both within Radar range and have a clear Line of Sight to the target you may target and share information.

I propose we decouple these two discrete actions. You should be able to lock on to any enemy Mech within Line of Sight range (defined in Tactical Operations) whereas you share targeting information with Radar range. PGIs recent tweaking of TAG to near-LOS ranges I think is just a way for this notion to happen, although by making TAG being used by the LRM support instead of the spotter.

;tldr Target what you see; Share what radar detects. Give TAG back to spotters. Make ECM less powerful and more in-line with source material usage.
