Nokia selling ASN to French government

I stumbled upon this news article in my daily news feed: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/nokia-sells-submarine-networks-business-asn-french-state-2024-06-27/
The article does not go too much into detail so it left me with more questions.
Is the ASN the ASN I think it is?
What is the benefit of buying and selling ASNs for that kind of money? I know some just want the privilege of owning a nice number, but the French government?

Also: why the hell am I not allowed to copy from your website Nokia?!
It's pronounced hacker.
ASN in this case is Alcatel Submarine Networks, not Autonomous System Number.
ASN sells and services subsea cables.

I guess you misunderstood that, we are talking about a daughter company!

Stupid me! Reuters should have clarified that!
