They don't intercept anything honestly. They either buy it or receive it through PRISM. Saying they intercept it really isn't the right word when Internet companies literally allow them into their interconnect locations (IXP) to install NSA hardware. I suppose technically you could still call it intercept, but it is more like they just listen to all traffic without any actual clandestine action.
