An oft-suggested plan, but I have yet to see convincing evidence that this is what they will do. I would guess given the plays that they have been making that they think they can reduce the cost of servicing orders, and make their money that way. The idea that they would achieve a monopoly and then raise prices seems silly, since the government would likely clamp down on that kind of strategy. And everything about their investments suggests that they think of themselves as a logistics company, not a monopolist.
