I’d say what they really need is a representative governing body over major network carriers to establish proper standards and levy fines for those that do not comply.

Kind of similar to a homes association saying “hey that trash on your lawn affects your neighbor, clean it up!”

It’s true that they are not a customer but at that level what they do affects each other, and it’s better to resolve things civilly and privately instead of publicly on twitter.

In theory this should be the job of the FCC, and in Europe the local regulatory agencies (BNetzA in Germany for example). But properly funding them to do their jobs doesn't seem to be very high om the political agendas these days.
