xo and l3 are both clecs.   I would guess they get their numbers from
nanpa :)

The recent FCC ruling (limited to SBC but could be requested they apply
it across the board) said that to get numbers you no longer have to goto
a LEC but instead can directly goto the nanpa.  Of course peering would
be a problem as many wont arbitrarily work with you since there is only
a requirement they work with puc approved companies.  companies like
global crossing will terminate CIC traffic for you though.
