I do hope you see the differences between those scenarios, though? OWS doesn't have a presence in Egypt. If Egypt tried to serve them with some legal document requiring OWS to provide such metadata, they'd be laughed at.
Telcos, on the other hand, are usually based in the country in which they do business (and often have separate businesses in each country, e.g. Vodafone). As we've seen many times, it's pretty easy to get them to cooperate (voluntarily or by law). Much easier to get all the metadata you need that way.
