Let's look at Amazon's fulfillment platform. Currently every warehouse is strongly coupled to the platform, and the platform is strongly coupled to Amazon's logistics, and Amazon.com , the site. This offer a huge barrier for competition.
But what if we've create a platform that is totally independent of Amazon(so that other retailers will use it), a platform that decouples warehouses from itself, so that new warehouses(owned by entrepreneurs) are freely added to that system and free to compete with it's other - maybe under the guide of a benevolent dictator(for example guiding toward optimal places at a specific time)? and the platform, since it's regulated as a utility, is pretty open and runs under fair rules ?
At the very least, it's a much more competitive system.
