For a company which has self-described itself as doing the last 10% of the work..to request that 75% of a revenue stream be given to them seems a bit out of place. 10% sure, 25% maybe, 50% if revenue sharing of _all_ retail revenue include U1MS as well as Amazon were on offer. But 75%..as a starting position for a revenue sharing negotiation... that's cutthroat.

If you say so. I don't really have an intuition.

But I guess they got negotiated down from an unreasonable 75% to a more reasonable 100% (i.e., directing people to U1MS instead). So compromise worked? ;-)
