Why should the ISP have to make such an investment?

That will be next, "https must be made illegal because it makes it too difficult to catch pirates, after all if you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to hide".
If any regulations are required for ISP's it should be in the opposite direction to make sure they have controls in place to make sure nobody is tapping into those choke points without court orders.
