Thanks, gcrispin. Is it possible that other travel sites have similar agreements with hotels? To me, unless there are tremendous economies of scale, which I doubt, I'm still having trouble understanding why one would use Expedia over another site. I know that Spek. (sp?) posted market shares from memory and the "power law" is somewhat in effect since the largest online travel site has nearly double the marketshare of others. I know that EXPE appears to be "inexpensive" or even cheap by some metrics, I'm just having trouble analyzing this issue.
