Except the targets are *everybody* including the access networks.
This really is "if you are not part of the solution, you are part
of the problem" and applies 100% to access networks.

And it doesn't require governments, it just requires CEO's with the
gumption to say we are not going to accept routes from you, via
transit or direct, until you publically state that you are implementing
BCP38 within your network and then follow through.

Many/most CEOs would not have an understanding of what a BCP is and
their first response likely would be to ask, "What's the business
case?"

Government regulation is also not the answer.  They can't all agree
on basic crap, much less on some esoteric (in their opinion) netgeekery
thingie...
