It took a while for the carriers to bring themselves into compliance with the technical requirements to make it work.

Yup - good call. I thought this was a nice post by the Twilio CEO last year: https://www.twilio.com/blog/your-phone-your-call-eliminating...

Basically, he walks through the history of the phone system and how it never really considered bad actors, and then what they are working on now and what it'll take to deploy it.

A lot like the early Internet. Hopefully we've learned that systems must be designed security-first to scale.
