I tend to agree.

ISP's are, generally, terrible at evolving beyond selling bandwidth.

While there might be some ISP's that are able to monetize the data they collect - to whatever degree that monetization is useful - I'd hazard that the majority don't do this because it requires a different mindset that most ISP's simply don't have.
