The only things Walmart leaves behind in Honduras are the below-subsistence 43-cent-an-hour wage and the factory rent--nothing else. This is easily demonstrated. There are very few backward linkages from these free trade zones to the local economy. In fact, 81 percent of the total value of the maquila export is composed of foreign inputs, and only 19 percent is value added in Honduras. In other words, Walmart and the other multinationals are simply chasing low wages and no labor rights regulations. This is no long range development strategy.

Walmart is attempting to get Walmart shoppers to carry the Mark of the Beast so that you can not pass to heaven after the Great Tribulation. Buy these items whose prices have been rolled back to $6.66 and then you get a receipt with that evil number printed on it to put in your purse or wallet. Very sly indead!

Walmart has had mixed results in their online initiatives. They’ve completely bailed out of the movie-rental-by-mail market when they couldn’t make headway against Netflix. In this case... there is no established player to try to kill. The movie download market is in its nascent stage and anyone can win.

Timmus - Walmart has some of the most advanced IT systems on the planet. They can track when individual items are sold at what location. Just because they don't want to talk to you when you call them, does not mean they don't know their own business. except for the anime buyer, that is.

As movie sales at Walmart.com continue to accelerate, the company is strengthening its commitment to this core business, and as a result, is discontinuing the Wal-Mart DVD Rentals service. Walmart.com's existing DVD Rentals customers will be offered the option to become Netflix subscribers at their current Wal-Mart rate for one year from the date they sign-up. Via its website (www.walmart.com/movies), Walmart.com will ... promote and refer customers interested in online DVD rentals to Netflix.

This is an extremely crowded market already, although Walmart has locked up deals with all of the major studios - Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox and Universal. See the chart included in this post for the studio deals locked up by other movie download services - CinemaNow, MovieLink and Amazon Unbox all have similar deals as well. iTunes and other competitors don’t.
