[VoiceOps] Identity Header Test Tool

[Mary Lou Carey]

Inteliquent was just got bought out by Sinch so they are one and the 
same. Inteliquent also bought out several companies like Onvoy several 
years back so it has multiple company names riding its network. It's my 
understanding that Sinch (fka Inteliquent) also sells DID services 
through several different affiliate companies. So you can't always go by 
the name associated with the OCN. A better way to tell which NXXs are 
part of each carrier's network is to pay attention to the AOCN number 
associated with each of the NXXs in the LERG.
