Most likely the carrier your number is with doesn't want to be 
responsible for updating these records, so your provider has to port it 
to a carrier that will. I don't believe there are any costs with listing 
CNAM, as in fact you can earn revenue from providing your records, but I 
think they are charging you for the time it takes them to handle your 
request, enter it in their database, and respond that it's done.

If you have a few thousand sequential DIDs, it's quite possible that 
your carrier might be willing to delegate rights to you so you can 
manage them directly and potentially earn revenue from collected dip fees.
