Re: next big markets--retail is an interesting one and it occurred to me that Walmart is going to have a RIM like crisis of its own over the next decade. E-commerce growth probably will continue as consumers grow increasingly comfortable with it, and the economics make so much more sense than building walmart's everywhere. I suppose they will start getting rid of their stores and moving to online, finding themselves looking like Amazon at the end of it, or out of business.
I guess I figured they'd get rid of their stores rather than turn them into shipping centers, but maybe this is just the first step in what would be a hell of a pivot if they can pull it off...
