No, ARIN is not a regulator. Regulators have guns or access to people with guns to enforce the regulations that they enact. ARIN has no such power.
The FCC is a regulator. The California PUC is a regulator. ARIN is not a regulator.
Last I heard, the FCC has access to people with law degrees not guns. Much like ARIN, really.
ARIN can act by de-allocating your network and revoking your ASN's. They can't fine you, but if you violate the RSA, they can revoke your stuff. That seems regulatory to me. --Curtis
