No, that's only true in traditional NANPA assignment areas, of which only the hyper-rural remain. In pooling areas (90% of country), LECs and other operators can get thousand blocks directly. LNP-capable switches are also mandatory in those areas as routing is done based on LRN, and every switch to which pooled blocks are homed must have one.

I know some folks that somehow managed to get the head of a whole
10,000 block, e.g. 678-954-0000.

What's that called?
