>>This is true all though word of mouth eventually prevails like the market in pricing.<< yes. the internet is the word of mouth time 100k. precisely my point. fewer people will go to bad retailers and pay to much. for commodities, though, it is much worse. fewer ways to differentiate. the obvious way is price......... >>Let's restate just a bit and state the customer will receive more for what they pay or a better value. This means the product and the service combined.<< cool. on average, though, this is cutting into margins. well, if there were any, it would ;-)\\>>I believe if subsituted value for dollar received the net makes it far better for the consumer.<< yes. i agree. i go one step further and say it is a step back for business, on average. a big step. not every business. but on average. especially for web centered businesses (e.g., amzn).
