If they don't want it, they simply sell it off. Can't see that happening any other way. You just don't unplug something and throw it away when it generates over a million dollars a year mostly profit, even if you don't plan on using it yourself. Someone would buy it. These companies buying up others aren't in the business of pissing money away. Actually a lot of them buy companies to break them up and sell off the parts for profit.
