The telecos are basically hamstrung, they cannot legally refuse to route calls so far as I know. I'm not sure that allowing that is the best route, either. That's a whole set of neutrality concerns that we don't need.

They should absolutely be doing something to stop spoofing, though.

They can however refuse to do business with people call spoofing using sip trunks. They can see the real phone # and should be able to compare it to the allocated numbers and reject the rest. If a reseller is allowing it to happen then they should cut off the reseller until they get their shit in order.
