It's also fearmongering.
I am not in favor of the type of regulation that Martin alluded to
in his question. However, I also do not think all regulation is
bad. As long as the industry's attitude is to avoid the regulator
at all costs the regulator will make decisions without information
and consultation, and those decisions will be bad.
"Regulation" could be as benign as "Anyone who peers in France must
publically post their peering policy" to something as sinister as
"the regulator will dictate all peering arrangements to all parties".
Everyone on this list should be working _with_ the regulators
wherever possible to educate them, and help shape regulations to
meet your business needs. Other industries have done this for
years. Lobbiests get paid millions of dollars to shape government
regulations in favor of their employer; peering and more importantly
regulation of the Internet is no different.
