that is not new. It is newer than the phreakable one but it is many decades old from before there were things like encryption, and Linux.

No, that's not true, there is no single current system. There is no telephony equivalent to BGP. Each separate interconnection uses whichever protocol it wants to.

Nobody drew a comparison to BGP.
The commonality of the spider of systems you’re referring to is still implicit trust.
