Most taking a wait and see approach because times are good an the likes of AMZN or whatever are not making any inroads as far as they can see. I imagine they are looking at revenues quarter by quarter garnered by the i-net firms. Unfortunately, these guys can read -- when revenue growth is not accelerating -- as it isn't for AMZN -- why should they be concerned?

jb, Speaking of Ketchup, why will someone pay 12 cents a bottle more to buy Hunts brand Ketchup. Name Brand Familiarity. You are using an incorrect analogy. Ketchup is the product you are buying, the argument in AMZN's case is which grocery store? Selection, location, price, etc., but NO product differences in many cases. Even the grocery store analogy is not perfect since there can be big differences in perishables like meat and produce. We all know how well the razor blade comparison worked for the Iomaniacs. -g- Regards, DWW
