I agree.

I wonder what Paul specifically thinks needs to be regulated. If it is
a general view, rather than a specific one, then Paul has
authoritarian beliefs (in other words, just the idea that somebody can
do something without first seeking and being given permission is an
anathema).

The fundamental and most significant benefit of the Internet has been
that its architecture has permitted permissionless innovation, through
application protocol transparency in the network. To deploy a new
application or service over the Internet, you do not have to seek
permission of a telco for them to carry your traffic.

IPv4 NATs have significantly limited the Internet's transparency,
which is why people have been creating an ad hoc and more transparent
virtual overlay network over the Internet using UDP - "UDP over IPv4 –
a stepping stone to IPv6?" -
