Levity aside, why the hell do ISPs believe they have a right to sell our usage data? Does that mean a telco or cell provider should be able to sell the numbers you call, how often and then target you for ads?
Why you lowly peon don't you understand that the Almighty Dollar is their God.

 I think telcos got busted for this a few years ago. They actually were selling your calling history to the buying public too. Online no less.

And when I say busted I mean exposed, not punished.
