They want your money, however they want manage their own network without
government intervention.  In order to keep autonomy, they must demonstrate to
regulatory agencies they are self policing.

I used to work with a guy that liked to read detective novels, and he would us
e a line about a gardener knows what's growing in his patch.  It relates to
managing an area or system, and knowing what's going on officially and behind 
the scenes.  An ISP being transparent and reporting suspicioous activity
keeps the regulatory agencies from spying on it's customer's activity.
