“On March 30th it announced its latest move: an expansion into the booming “on-demand” economy, in the form of Amazon Home Services, a marketplace that connects customers with nearby builders, plumbers, mechanics, music teachers and even goat grazers in several American cities.  Amazon has been testing a version of the service, under the name Amazon Local Services, in a handful of cities since late 2014. But it has now expanded coverage to 41 states. Just as Amazon tries to take the hassle out of buying goods, it now hopes to do the same for services, by closely vetting providers and standardising offerings so that prices can be agreed in advance.”
