I've been toying around with the idea of starting some kind of 'Open CNAM' project to destroy the current money hustle BS that dominates this industry. The ever-growing FreeCNAM database may be a good starting point for such a project. I would also like to use Bitcoin (BTC) as the micropaymen

The system uses real Telco CNAM Dips. Any generic names you get are from the subscriber's carrier itself. We can only provide what we ourselves get. I tried it, but it returns the same kind of junk that some of the databases do. For example, on a Florida number, it just says "FLORIDA" instead
