Wal-Mart’s (WMT) head of online operations, Raul Vasquez, is interviewed by NY Post reporter James Covert in a story posted this morning, and quoted as repeating the usual WMT line, that the company will beat any price — but it’s placed against the backdrop of “frantic” responses from Amazon.com (AMZN), in what Covert writes “signals that Wal-Mart isn’t afraid to enter the ring again with Amazon or any other online rival as it tries to grab a bigger slice of the online shopping space for Amazon.” But Vasquez never actually mentions Amazon by name in his remarks, which is shrewd — why advertise for the competition?
