What's worse really is not that you have to look at ILEC tandems out of area - they don't perform any route filtering, if the originating caller is calling out of area, it gets sent to their PIC/LPIC LD carrier.

So what you really need is every IXC in the country to make sure they have a route to you either directly, through whatever tandem homing arrangements you have, or via another IXC (really common especially in rural areas to see a Level 3/Global Crossing hand off to Qwest/AT&T/Verizon for the final termination.).

Take Kidd's call from Verizon in Colorado.  If there isn't our
exchange in their local switch, do they forward the call on to another
switch in hopes that it will know where to send it?  Similar to a
default gateway in IP world?
It would get kicked up to an ILEC tandem inside that LATA. There is
really no default gateway beyond that; at that point, you've already
exited into what the IP world would call "default route-free" or "Tier
1" routing space.
