I dont think so, no. All in all, I think there requirements are fair. They also deter some companies from applying, that we'd rather not have apply. (Aka RBOC)
Even in the NetNeutrality and Interconnection requirements, they leave it up to the applicant to set most of the rules, and how far they want to comply, and get higher score for more open network. Same thing for accounting, they need to have some method to measure that you are spending the money as you represent. Just as much control as any bank or investor would want, except you dont have to pay it back :-) My feeling is, if someone doesn't need the money, they shouldn't get involved, because strings are a pain.
