Book excerpt: First class postage rates have risen from six cents in 1971 to 25 cents in 1988. This rapid increase might be justifiable if service had improved commen-surately, but in fact postal service has steadily deteriorated. The Postal Service concedes that it takes ten percent longer to deliver a first class letter than it did in the 1960s, and one recent postmaster general admits that delivery may have been more reliable in the 1920s. In this volume, Adie reviews the failures of the U.S. Postal Service - an inability to innovate, soaring labor costs, huge deficits, chronic inefficiency, and declining service standards. He blames most of these problems on the postal service's monopoly status. Competition produces efficiency and innovation; monopoly breeds inefficiency, high costs and stagnation. He also examines the experiences of other countries and other industries that may be valuable in prescribing reform for the postal service. The breakup of AT&T provides lessons that may be applied to postal reform. The long-run effects of deregulation on the airline industry are also examined. Since the postal service has serious union problems, Adie looks at the air traffic controllers' strike and other evidence on pay and labor relations in government unions. Finally, Adie examines the experiences of Canada and Great Britain with privatization of government companies. He then offers a comprehensive - and controversial - reform plan for the U.S. Postal Service, with no further monopoly privileges or taxpayer subsidies. He argues that private companies should be free to compete with the Postal Service, and it, in turn, should be free to compete in all phases of the communications business. Without privatization and deregulation, the Postal Service is doomed to continuing inefficiency, rising costs, worsening labor relations, and an increasing loss of customers to more innovative and efficient service providers. Competition would give the Postal Service a chance to enter the 21st ce

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Private Express Statutes protect the U.S. Postal Service from competition in the delivery of letter mail. In contrast, few if any corresponding rules protect competition in other areas from the federal government's postal monopoly. Not only are the Postal Service's competitive activities arguably unrestricted by any explicit application of antitrust law, but public ownership and control exempt the Postal Service's actions from the corporate governance that is characteristic of private enterprises. The Postal Service can take advantage of its autonomy and protected letter mail monopoly to subsidize its entry and expansion in competitive markets, such as parcel post and express mail. That raises a fundamental issue: whether Congress's grant of a monopoly to the Postal Service over the delivery of letter mail should be used to restrict or supplant private commerce in other markets. In this book J. Gregory Sidak and Daniel F. Spulber examine the justifications for the publicly protected postal monopoly and its public ownership and control. On the basis of their economic and legal analysis, the authors demonstrate the need to prevent extension of the postal monopoly into competitive markets.

It would also give American consumers a chance to have the kind of mail service that a modern economy demands.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study to provide a comprehensive account of the development and current status of federal laws that grant the United States Postal Service exclusive rights in the carriage of letters (the “postal monopoly”) and the delivery of mailable matter (the “mailbox monopoly”). US postal monopoly law is derived from the English postal act of 1660. This study describes, inter alia, incorporation of elements of the English law into the Postal Ordinance of 1782 by the Continental Congress; enactment in revised form in the Postal Act of 1792 (by the federal government established by the Constitution of 1788) and subsequent amendments; expansion of the monopoly by adoption of the “private express laws” in 1845; extension of the monopoly to local delivery services; revision and codification of the postal monopoly laws in 1872; disputes over the scope of the monopoly with the railroads in the 1890s and early 1900s; evolving interpretations of the monopoly by Attorneys General and the Post Office Department; enactment of the mailbox monopoly law in 1934 and amendment in 1938; the review of the monopoly and adoption of expansive regulations by the US Postal Service in 1973; amendments to the postal monopoly by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act in 2006.

Book excerpt: In December 2002, President Bush established the Presidential Commission on the United States Postal Service for the purpose of proposing how government provision of mail delivery services might be reformed or transformed. The Commission reported in July 2003 that the Postal Service should not be privatized but rather should remain a public entity that would increasingly be run like a commercial enterprise. In 2004, however, the Supreme Court moved the Postal Service farther away from being a true commercial enterprise when it held in the Flamingo Industries case that the agency is immune from antitrust law. In this article, we argue that the Postal Service already operates like a commercialized governmental enterprise and that pursuing that path even further would increase rather than decrease the problems faced by the U.S. postal sector. Although we support privatization, that option may not be politically feasible. Consequently, we examine how postal reform might proceed incrementally in the form of an improved government agency. That approach would entail two broad principles for postal reform. The first is to define the Postal Service's mission in terms of remedying conditions of market failure. That goal encompasses universal service, quality of service, and reasonableness of rates. The second broad principle is to avoid competitive distortions through the pricing and product offerings of the Postal Service. This principle entails avoiding government production in markets that are or can be served satisfactorily by private firms, as well as avoiding discrimination among mailers and among competitors in secondary markets. We then present specific recommendations that would advance these two broad goals if the Postal Service remains an agency of the federal government. Those recommendations encompass costing, universal service, rate design and mail classification, the postal monopoly, and market entry and exit ő as well as legislative reversal of Flamingo Industries.
