Abstract: Abstract The aim of this paper is to supplement discussion of postal regulation in the digital age, by considering whether a part of the Universal Service Obligation (USO) funding solution might be found by redefining the reserved area of monopoly postal services to match customer communications using postal services. This strategy could reinforce long-term sustainability of universal service provision.
