I wonder what the going rate is on that information? I'm genuinely curious how much Verizon, Comcast, etc. are selling that for? Like are they selling it all in huge batches or with enough money could I inquire about people in particular?

In another related note, does the government regulate who they can sell this information to exactly? I mean what's to stop let's say Russia from buying up all this info? Granted if the Russian government wanted to get info they could, but now all they have to do is write a check?
