Telecoms will not get fined for this breach, or fined at amount that is meaningful, so they are not going to care.
Politics has historically incentivized job creation.
As SRE, I'm just over everyone running around acting like another tool is going to solve the problem. It's not, incentives need to be present not to be completely terrible at their job.

Frankly, any company that says they're a technology or software business should be building these kinds of systems. They can grab FOSS implementations and build on top or hire people who build these kinds of systems from the ground up.
