Guys, the deal is a fraction of what it used to be. And now FedEx is there too.
I'd say the fat lady has already sung when DHL left. The fat lady has left the building too.
As hvydrver has already pointed out, the market has already taken DHL's domestic share. This really would not have been controlled by any agreement, unless you think they could have denied consumer choice of carrier. DHL only held about 10% of the US market on their best day.
The prize and the highest margin business goes to the carrier selected to handle DHL's international flows into and out of the US.
