When you have a monopoly, price and quality tend to slip. I can't think of very many times where this doesn't happen over time and can give a whole lot of examples where it does. It doesn't happen immediately after establishing a monopoly position, but over time as upper management gets complacent and distracted.

It isn't whining to point out that consumers are usually better served by competition than by no competition. You rather obviously misunderstand my position. I like Amazon, they do a good job. I just think that they need competition to keep them focused.
