So an industry has about 6100 companies.  What if that was reduced by half or even two thirds?

Lets imagine it goes to 2000.  Still seems like a ton of companies in one industry.  So lets say it was done in a wonderfully strategic fahion.

• savings can come from the fact that duplication of households needing to be serviced will shrink
• savings will come because large national carriers will not need to redevelop smaller profitable companies.  Instead they can take advantage of the time savings and provide a cost savings these smaller companies will never experience
• if we reduce overall costs we can selectively reduce costs
• economies of scale
• best practices
• specialization within one massive, customer servcie facing group

INCOMPLETE BUT NEEDED TO TYPE
