Indeed! Merely requiring that CallerID be authenticated will do little. If they also add large fines for spoofing, with strong & rapid enforcement, that may at least reduce the onslaught of 'neighbor spoofing' calls. They also need to add large fines with strong & rapid enforcement for violating the Do Not Call list.

It should be done at the network level by Verizon/AT&T, etc. let us subscribe to and augment the blacklists.
