Not concentrating is the right way to kill a company.
ACT has chosen a business model that happens to be quite amenable
for someone else to concentrate on the segments where ACT has not
concentrated. It may be annoying to have the first entrant in the
GNAT support business not have chosen _my_ segment as their target
market, but it is better than have them include it and then lose
focus.
