Well sure, but what started this tangent is that to me, anyway, it seemed like ENA had just as much ISP as it had ISP, if not more. It would be like buying a farm to get farm-fresh eggs in your kitchen.

Buy enough Dark Fiber providers, you'll eventually acquire an ISP
Buy enough ISPs, you'll eventually acquire a Colo
Buy enough Colos, you'll eventually acquire a small Cloud
Buy any small Clouds and you're guaranteed to acquire managed services for small companies.
Now you've gone from being Layer 0 only catering whales, to dabbling in Layer 7 at Dr. Morris's Family dentistry.
Spin off what you don't want, and repeat.

And sometimes the acquisition is really just about acquiring the assets, such as the customer list*, and then they are left with having to run something that they never really wanted until they can figure out what to do with it.
*Yes, even in these industries. Do I sound cynical? Well, cynical != not accurate. :-(
