Internet & USPS
Internet was always the bête noir of the USPS because the usage of e-mail
reduced very significantly the mailing of letters. I learned with satisfaction that: "Helped by a surge of Christmas parcels, the United States Postal Service reported an operating profit of $1.3 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, which ended Dec. 31, 2015." Postmaster General Megan Brennan said that : "Christmas and other holiday greeting card volume dropped by 4.4 percent this fiscal year while packages surged about 18 percent, ... , crediting the pricing of Postal Service parcels for the surge." But Fredric Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, said the good results ... show the impact of an improving economy and “Internet-driven online shopping,” which boosted parcel growth.
