        I think this is the case for quite alot of those here. <br>

        For me though, I just manage the on premise PBX and my carrier

    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    There are issues for those of us that use multiple upstream carriers
    for call termination, with LCR for example.  If you send your calls
    out the same provider that supplies your inbound DID, your calls
    should get the "A" rating and your callers should have no issues. 
    At present if I send calls out a provider that does NOT handle the
    DID in the caller ID field, it gets a "B" rating.  I don't think
    this will pose a problem for the forseeable future - I don't see
    carriers marking these as "spam",  they just won't get the
    ultra-special "secure" mark.<br>
    <br>
    Also good to note the upcoming deadline does NOT mean call blocking,
    just call tagging.  The blocking bit will be up to the end user,
    though I could see phones shipping with default settings that may do
    so.<br>
    <br>
    Basically we can't do LCR anymore.  Outbound calls are locked to the
    provider that gave us the DID.  I'm not sure that's really a bad
    thing, its less headache than for us to try to become a signing
    authority.<br>
    <br>
    I think the whole thing is still very fluid.  Didn't even mention
    call forwarding issues.<br>
