I wonder if that's an exploitable space given the oncoming avalanche of 
VoIP adopters... some sort of gateway subscription service to provide a 
batch feed to all the individual LECs for a fee.

I'd certainly pay x dollars a month per DID to have a name better than 
"Los Angeles Call" identifying my business to the called party, 
especially since I'm more than an hour south of LA and *not* being in 
LA is a specific business differentiator for us.
