I liked Fred Wilson's suggestions about "safe harbor" and an on-ramp, so that startups with little volume/impact wouldn't be subject to any onerous regs. I think that's a reasonable approach. Allow the innovation to happen, see what works, and as companies scale, apply the reg burden as they level up. oductive way possible. Obviously I think you're aware of this, and that's your overall goal here.
This is a great idea and makes absolute sense. But this onerous regulation protects the existing player.
So you know who is going to fight this?
