The issue to _all_ such questions is always "money": it costs a bunch more to do things that way. Caller-ID is a hard-enough sell, due to the prices that (particularly the former Baby Bells) charge, that the higher pricing to recover the extra cost of the extra gear would eliminate *most* of the customer base.

The operating companies are _very_ reluctant to introduce _any_ non-standard feature or equipment.
