Or it simply says that FedEx is not the only company moving things and that the competitors are moving in. Once upon a time, the Wintel Axis of Axioms was the bell-whether of Cyberspace and one could tell whether things were going well there by counting beans in Wintel's balance sheets. Now, they are faded companies from a bygone era. Google with Android, Qualcomm with Snapdragon in the year of the dragon and Krait in the year of the snake are leading the way, with Apple worth more than Exxon which along with General Motors once represented the glory of the planet as the outcome of the industrial revolution. Now General Motors is Obamamotors and can be bought with petty cash of various Cyberspace companies. Exxon even before the acquisition of Mobil was a huge beast. Apple soared past Exxon. Just as cars are being abandoned as a cultural icon among young people, with Autocars now under development which will finish the glory days of the car off, maybe the foundations of Fedex are under threat. Maybe people don't want stuff so much and there is not so much to move. Maybe FedEx is like snail mail - once a big deal, but not so much now. Or maybe competition from DHL and hordes of other carriers is enough to do it. Fastway is great here [in NZ]. Fox Logistics is a biggie too. Mqurice
