>The simple fact is, getting approval to put your network somewhere is not only really expensive, but already heavily regulated
Very true. How does adding more regulation make things better? Are you telling me that the new FCC ruling will make all those existing regulatory problems go away? If so, that might help.
But if we agree the problem is regulation, I would hope we agree the solution can't be more regulation.

It could. For example, the FCC could force companies to lease their last-mile infrastructure out to competitors, which could add meaningful competition to the ISP space.
The devil will be in the details. How much is the price of the lease? Who determines that price? What then would be the motivation for upgrading the last mile infrastructure for the owners of it?
