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

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.
