There is absolutely no way to tell the "real" ANI with calls
pushed through SIP, so my experience has been that we've been
billed using the CID solely. (what ANI is sent I have no idea)

I'm sure some out there are doing exactly that. (set the CID to
something which would yield lower rates) I wouldn't call it fraud
though. When you think about it interconnection rates and reciprocal
revenue and all that were meant for the PSTN. You can't treat a call
coming to you via your owned PSTN wiring and a call coming to you via
someone else's (internet) backbone as the same for billing purposes.
Can't being "shouldn't". ;)
