^^^^THIS.If you're going to play in a regulated industry, you can't ignore the regulators. Just like a good marketing person understands their audience, a company needs to understand the regulatory landscape and how to work with the various worldwide government agencies that set/enforce the rules
That doesn't mean agreeing with everything an agency says and does. It means understanding what motivates them, what pressures they are under, etc. And then working with them.
