I can speak to that, having originated calls from a call center.

Yes, of course we sent out calls with "spoofed" CNID.

But, even though only 2 or 3 or our 5 carriers* held *our* feet to the fire, 
we held the clients' feet to the fire, requiring them to prove to our 
satisfaction that they had adminstrative control over the numbers in question.

But it's the carrier's responsibility, properly, to do that work.

[ It was, IIRC, Verizon, Qwest and maybe Sprint that forced the issue with us;
at least two carriers did not.  No longer recalll which ones. ]
