Why no Name With Caller ID Number?

The phones I've had and those of some friends all just show a number for caller ID but not a name. On my home phone these same callers will show with name and number. Is it certain phones, or certain services, or the whole cell/mobile system that drops the name? And why? Caller ID loses most of its value when the name is dropped.

Thanks,

Tom
