"That’s what the Swiss do now, and most mail recipients and senders seem to like it. With mailers’ approval, the Swiss Post scans in letters and bills and then delivers them via secure electronic mailboxes. Delivery of hard copies can be requested," according to Ostroff.

He goes on to say, "Postal unions would squirm, fearful of losing thousands of jobs. But they also know that year after year of deficits would doom the unions to a slow death."
