Well, y'know, it's been 10 years since I originated calls to LD carriers.

But when I did, 3 of my carriers (VZN and 2 LDs) trapped outgoing calls
that weren't for 10D calling numbers *they had assigned us* (and hence I 
had to work that out with them to prove that *someone* had)...

nd the other 2 didn't give a crap.  I could send them anything -- even calls
with CNID that wasn't a valid NANP address (4th digit 1, frex).

Since nearly all of this is being originated over PRIs to LD carriers, right;
maybe if the FCC just threatened the LD carriers who do not do the calling
number legitimacy enforcement the regs (I think) already require them to do...?

Cheers,
