I would write:

"The ISP _MUST NOT_ have control of how the layer-3 network
infrastructure is subdivided, a regulated infrastructure
provider must be in control of that to qualify for the /29
exclusion."

(lots of ISPs buy infrastructure from third parties that tell
them how it will be provisioned)
