Two things to consider.

1) Information about people and their relationship link to other family members is for sale. Sad but true!

2) The caller id technology is not adequate for the convergence of voice systems and internet technology. The phone companies will need different methods of identification and ensuring the information is not tampered with will be required. Caller ID spoofing will only get worse as shady businesses, criminals, etc figure out ways to exploit it. Plus, we will probably be transitioning from old phone systems to newer technology for another 10+ years... maybe longer.
