Abstract: Abstract The net cost of universal service has been the subject of extensive discussion in the literature, in terms of the methodology to be followed, and also the practical assessment of certain elements of the universal services. For example, previous reviews of the potential savings from moving from 6-day to 5-day delivery indicated it is highly likely that there is a positive net cost of this aspect of the USO.
