No, that's only true in traditional NANPA assignment areas, of which  
only the hyper-rural remain.  In pooling areas (90% of country), LECs  
and other operators can get thousand blocks directly.  LNP-capable  
switches are also mandatory in those areas as routing is done based on  
LRN, and every switch to which pooled blocks are homed must have one.
