Exactly. And that doesn't require an elaborate PKI. Who is allowed to use what telephone numbers is an administrative issue for the ingress provider to police. It's the equivalent to gmail not allowing me to spoof whatever email address I want. The FCC could have required that ages ago.

 How does one carrier that gets DIDs from multiple other carriers
 communicate to the termination carrier selected during LCR that the DID
 set as CallerID is indeed serviced by that carrier and authorized to use
 said DID as CallerID?

 If a call is asynchronous, e.g. the DID carrier is not the terminating
 carrier, how can the termination carrier trust/know definitively that
 someone is allowed to use that CallerID?

 Don't forget the resellers!!!
