That's what happened last time.
Big problem I see is that under agency there is little room for generic/independent ebookstores. Not that there are many left serving the US but with Amazon already commanding the lion's share of indie titles (half a million exclusives), a second round of Agency will likely leave us with just Amazon and Apple. And Apple isn't terribly indie-friendly so the big winner would, again, be Amazon.
Long term that is not good for anybody. Not even Amazon.
