While the publicity pieces may be poorly stated, (in particular one should never use the word "individual" in any context) the desired teachable moment is based on buying data or access to a segment of at least 500 individuals based on factors like travel habits, income and demographics. (In some proposals that segment could be as high as 5-10K as I see mention of congressional aids and the like.)

That desire could be quite easy to achieve and quite hard to block without upsetting the intended market for ISP data since being able to buy affects on segments down to such granularity is exactly how the market works.
