Why is it that cellular doesn't have *true* CallerID? I'm not talking about having a person's info flash up if s/he's in your phone's address book (which is handled user-side and has nothing to do with the cellular infrastructure), I'm talking about ANI. Why don't cell companies implement this? Is the problem regulatory? Technological? Lack of standards? Expense?
Cellular and *true* CallerID?

I never thought of it like that but you're right - cell phone user pay for the usage time so they should be getting ANI, not CLID.
It's akin to having an 800 number. Back in the day I had an 866 number through a carrier that would convert ANI to CLID. Worked very well.
