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...?
