I spoke about Amazon’s increasing influence earlier, here it is again. It seems I failed to blog (or at least am failing to find the post) that Amazon was now showing willingness to collect state sales taxes and are now setting up distribution centers everywhere. That almost certainly will doom most local retailers, including nation-wide chains, unless they aggressively can manage their sales channel to take advantage (or create an advantage out of) their bricks and mortar existence, though that doesn’t seem highly likely.
So when does Amazon become an evil monopoly? Or has it happened already?
