The originating termination must be available just as the receiving termination to make the call and to bill correctly. But what about where multiple companies may share an exchange/switchboard and only one is abusing the phone system?

"Faking" the caller ID is useful with switchboards where you want to allow direct dialling to the extension rather than the switchboard (reception).
So, as I have said before, while it seems an good idea (if possible) to block either on the originating termination or where the caller ID and originating termination don't match may have unintended consequences.
