This is not a very cohesive argument. Basically he is suggesting that we are going to see tiered pricing in all retail, but doesn't explain what the tiers will be based on. A more likely scenario? Price will equal convenience. Retail stores will be more connected to the internet so that you can see who has what item in stock within 5 miles of where you are. The Big Box retailers do this already. We will then see a new breed of startups based on adding impulse purchases to the item that you bought online and are picking up locally (loss leaders online).
