> If there are no would-be bad actors, no regulation is needed.  But if there are would-be bad actors, then they will attempt to be instrumental in shaping any new regulations, and many of the presumed would-be bad actors have time, money, and histories of securing significant face time with regulatory agencies such as the FCC.

Often the ‘bad actor’ is really just a ‘dumb actor’ that did something without thinking it through fully or understanding root causes, secondary effects of a network change, etc. In our industry (writ large) it seems like 99% of the negative stuff can be ascribed to mistakes/lack of foresight/incorrect root cause analysis/etc and 1% is due to some ‘evil genius plan’. ;-)
