The protocol exists, and is in use in a number of places. [0]

Whilst it isn't widely deployed yet, it is being rolled out across several nations currently - albeit very slowly.

Telstra is rolling it out as well [1], but they've coupled it to their 5G efforts.

Hopefully phone UIs can start showing the check mark with more prominence (and information - it should say ‘not spoofed’ instead of ‘verified number’) since it seems the big 3 US carriers have implemented it.

T-Mobile in the US has implemented it pretty extensively AFAIK and I rarely get spam calls these days.
