I feel the same way, but I worry that ISPs won't ever change unless they're forced to. I'm starting to wonder if Google should just stop accepting (or start delaying?) traffic to or from ISPs that allow spoofed traffic. I mean it doesn't feel hard to test.

On the one hand I already avoid Google because they're getting uncomfortably large, but on the other hand I feel like it's going to take a company of Google's size to take a stand, or regulatory changes, before anything will change for the better here.

It worked for improving the SSL situation and for distrusting bad CAs, didn't it? Non-rhetorical question, it feels like it did to me.

Why Google?

Merely because they're big enough to throw their clout around, which could be a good thing or bad thing depending on how you view it.

Could also be Apple, or Amazon, or maybe Netflix. Any large enough company really.

Why company? Why not one of these organisations:
