They don't actually lay any cable though, nor do they build their own
network. They have been acquiring other telecoms at a brisk pace for 15
years as the industry consolidates. (They are debt heavy, especially for
a European company, and this upcoming IPO is a 20% sale to grab more
capital, riding the wave of recent market bullishness for U.S.
telecoms.)

Not sure if any of us network engineers will like them in 2 - 4 years -
but you're a business consultant seeing this from a different
perspective. ;)
