> Regulation is often not about being inline with market economics
Regulations usually aren't about being inline with market economics, otherwise they'd be unnecessary. Regulations are only inline with market economics in some instances of market failure regulations (e.g. monopoly regulations such as local loop unbundling mandates). Usually, the whole point of regulations is to create incentives which don't match straight market economics in order to effect different behaviours from companies (such as improved service or standards of conduct)
