That supposes that another ISP would accept their bot-infected machine. It would require some cooperation among the providers. And should some ISP get the reputation of being a bot-haven, then maybe their customers might notice connectivity issues.
Unless you can get every company to sign up to an agreement it will never work. Even then you'll still find unscrupulous companies that are far more interested in revenue than reputation. There are a number of hosting companies I'm sure most network professionals are aware of that are regular bases for C'n'C servers.
