The FCC is a regulator. The California PUC is a regulator. ARIN is not
a regulator.
Last I heard, the FCC has access to people with law degrees not guns.
Much like ARIN, really.
ARIN can act by de-allocating your network and revoking your ASN's.
They can't fine you, but if you violate the RSA, they can revoke your
stuff. That seems regulatory to me.
