[asterisk-users] Open CallerID Database?

[Shane Young]

Our CNAM provider claims to have more than 196 million entries.  I  
just don't think you could reliably maintain that in this format.

Let's say I'm a CLEC and I have 40,000 numbers.  I want to update that  
in one place (my SCP, probably).  I wouldn't also want to update  
another database through another method.
