"I didn't see this as being a business service at all"
They could handle returns and repair logistics for companies once the network is built.
Cases where a bad item needs to be picked up and there is either no packing material or it's the type that needs to be repacked. Or it's a 27" Imac and the owner is a person that can't pack it properly and get it back to Apple (I've seen where Apple will dispatch a tech to a home to fix a problem in a Mac Pro so they send out a tech (to a home). Here they could issue a pickup (non business, non critical of course). Less costly. Pickup and repair at the "depot".
Or say I have a rack server that I want retrieved and shipped somewhere and I don't want to trust that the colo people derack and ship properly. (This would tech specialized staff for sure but that's my point. There are many places you can go with this).
There are already logistics companies that do similar things (contracting with businesses) for delivery of home appliances, exercise equipment etc. This is in a sense the reverse of that.
Not to mention that a company like this is a total acquisition target by a major shipper once the network is built.
