POSTAL AND DELIVERY INNOVATION IN THE DIGITAL E...

Worldwide  postal and delivery economics is the subject of considerable interest. The postal
industry's business model is in drastic need of change. Notably  the European Commission and
member states are still wrestling with the problems of implementing liberalization of entry
into postal markets  addressing digital competition  and maintaining the universal service
obligation. In the United States  the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 has 
perhaps  exacerbated some of the problems faced by the United States Postal Service (USPS).
Currently  the USPS has serious financial problems because of difficulties it faces in making
changes and the failure of the Act to address problems that have been long-standing. Electronic
competition is severe and affects post offices (POs) worldwide  which have been slow to address
the threat. This book addresses this new reality and includes discussion of how POs may attempt
to reinvent themselves. Parcels and packets will play a major role in developing new business
models for postal operators. This book is of use not only to students and researchers
interested in the field  but also to postal operators  consulting firms  utilities  regulatory
commissions  Federal Government Departments and agencies of the European Union and other
countries.
