They employee (larger ISP's atleast) folks to think about this problem and plan reaction to it.... even plan preventitive measures for it :) Oh, and atleast the US and UK Gov'ts are interested in 'infrastructure', though often their interest ends with the phrase: "Someone should make a law..." at which point the ISP person(s) say: "And I'll move my <insert bad thing that needs regulation now> off to the Cayman Islands/Russia/China where your 'law' doesn't matter... so lets make this solution not about the 'law' so much as making people realize it's the best thing to do." So, how isn't it being addressed?
