Err, not quite right. There are a few circumstances when called ID can be blocked (it's rumoured certain spook agencies have this ability), however if a "user" withholds CID, then it's just flagged at the local switch and passed switch to switch with the withold CLI flag. The terminating switch should then NOT pass on CLI if the withold flag is set on to an end-user line. Of course some agencies will get CLI passed even if the withold flag is set (in the UK, Police, fire, etc, potentially even ISPs for abuse purposes - but they are not meant to abuse the privilige).
