I worked for a big ISP before the telecoms collapse and one day I walked
in to see one of the senior finance people; i.e. he reported to the CFO.
He showed me a complex network diagram on the wall and asked what I
thought. I said that it looked rather complex. He said that it showed
the inter-relationships of all the legal entities that made up our
company. The finance team were really proud that they had reduced the
number to only about 250 legal entities.

Whether you would actually want to open Pandora's box is also a
different issue. ;-)
