Neustar, the company with access to every phone number in the US

BuzzFeed has published a great piece for conspiracy theorists, offering a look inside Neustar, a little-known firm that handles law enforcement requests for more than 400 telecoms companies across the US. Based in Virginia, Neustar began as a division inside Lockheed Martin, but was spun off in 1999 - it now provides services ranging from data request handling to security consulting and DRM administration.
