The data storage capabilities required to do this would dwarf anything else out there.

Why not require phone companies to record all conversations, too, just in case the FBI wants to listen to them?

Can't they just get all the data from the NSA?

From the article:

Privacy groups and industry groups have generally opposed mandatory data retention, with some companies such as Comcast voluntarily agreeing to retain user data for longer periods.
Hell, the data storage capabilities required to maintain a list of reasons why Comcast sucks would dwarf anything else out there. The list just got a bit longer....
