Akamai assigns IP addresses to its servers for use with SSL. Akamai
owns the servers. The servers cache content from other servers they
don't own and then feed it up to the public on request.

ISP or end-user? Why?

Google assignes IP addresses to its servers for SSL. Google owns the
servers. The servers cache content from other servers they don't own
and index it for searching by google users.

ISP or end-user? Why?

The University of Maryland assigns IP addresses to students in dorms.
The computers are owned by the students and do everything from web
surfing to bit torrent to servers.

ISP or end-user? Why?

Starbucks Coffee runs wifi hot spots. Many many wifi hotspots.

ISP or end-user? Why?

Hilton and Marriott provide Internet service to their customers during
their stays.

ISP or end-user? Why?

Linode assigns IP addresses to virtual servers running only on
equipment they own. Each virtual server is leased to a customer.

ISP or end-user? Why?
