I'm sure this kind of data collection has been going on for decades, the phone companies use the data to improve their telephone service. I'm not even surprised the NSA got a hold of that data, but like Hegemonic says, how much of our privacy have they really invaded? When they want to wiretap they have to go to court to get the telcos to cooperate, but in this case they've volunteered that information. I guess it's just a question of how well you trust your phone service provider.
