I tend to think that among those who know and understand what is
going on, the name “PRISM” probably is not used to refer to any
intelligance gathering programme, but rather to some kind of unified
web platform that provides an interface to information gathered by
various means (some of which probably involve “national security
letters”). The information gathering programmes themselves are probably
much more expensive.

Greetings,
Norbert
