Potentially, you could buy a digital printer and create an API for physical mail. It could effectively change the direct marketing industry.

I think he means where you send HTML (or a PDF) to a web service that does a mail merge, prints & bulk mails it for you. I had exactly the same thought as a logical next step when I saw this.

Think of a print on demand web service for sending physical mail. You might even be able to do things like print it near the destination to take advantage of lower shipping rates.
