Question...

Just how are cable companies and dish providers prohibited from doing the same? This is the first I've ever heard of that.

Because there is a very specific law on the books that prohibits them from sharing without a COURT order. It was the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984.

The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 stipulates that cable and satellite companies can't collect or disclose information about customers' viewing habits.

Well the answer than is for the Senate Communications Committee to change the law to cover phone companies. It can easily be added to the telecommunications bill they are working on if they really wanted to.
