PROFILE |
 |
No, the United States Postal Service (USPS) doesn't deliver your e-mail, but it is trying to find Internet opportunities. An independent government agency, the USPS delivers more than 200 billion pieces of mail a year (40% of the world's total), relying on postage and fees for income. Though it has a monopoly on delivering nonurgent letters, the USPS faces competition for services such as package delivery. Facing a decline in the volume of "snail mail" because of the Internet, the agency is pursuing e-commerce strategies such as express delivery and computerized postage. An 11-member board of governors, nine of whom are appointed by the president of the US, oversees the agency.
