Will they start doing that to my phone line too? Selling my call history to third parties?

[mbreese]

Don't they do that already? Except they call them "partners" and it's "anonymized".

At least for wireless users they already do. It's only a matter of time before they do the same with land-line users.

My cellular provider monitors data traffic to sell off to advertisers. Everyone is opted in by default - no price increase for opting out though

No, there are laws preventing it.

There are also laws preventing unreasonable search and seizure, but it still happens.
