CNID, administratively, is assigned by the originating class-5 end office of the LEC or CLEC. Some carriers will permit you to specify what it should be, administratively, and some switches will accept what you send (definitely over a PRI, definitely at least some generics on a DMS-100, possibly on a BRI, definitely not on some other switches and generics). Whether a VoIP provider will permit you to set it is probably implementation-defined. The FCC has a finger in this pie as well, I believe; there was recent rulemaking about CNID spoofing, the results of which (I *think*) were to impose as a regulation the perfectly sensible limitation that you should only be permitted to send as originating CNID for the end office to propagate Directory Numbers which are administratively yours.
