This example actually show the fundamental value of separating infrastructure from service.
Amazon's infrastructure (1 day delivery) is good and valuable, but their service (products, etc) are severely lacking. It would be beneficial, in the free market sense, for the government to break up Amazon, split out that infrastructure part make it rentable, and have the rest of Amazon compete with other providers to provide a service on top of this infrastructure.
Same goes for all natural monopolies (e.g. gas pipelines, optic fibre internet, rail, ...).
