Retailers worry about desi Wal-Mart
----------------------------------
As an aside, can the Amul experience be replicated on the retail side ?

I have a hunch that internet retailing is a more likely outcome of globalisation than the high startup fixed costs model that WalMart and even indigenous Indian corporate retail chains will incur as a result of rapid expansion. Internet retailers will also be able to market services such as internet ISP and telecommunications/broadband etc.
Retailing of mainly consumable products could also become possible due to the ever lower costs of air freight.....basically the Amazon/Ebay computer ordering system but introducing a multi-level distributor/commission structure. The range of goods & services distributed by this newer method would also allow for much greater choice and all accessed from a computer terminal.
The earlier post regarding Mexican popcorn would be something of an exception due to its relatively short `shelf life'. Maybe the 20/80 rule applies here?......80% of popular products and services could be sold using this low cost networking system.
