I have mixed feelings on this. While I am glad they are seeing to keep up to date with technology, the US Post Office is a really important center of activity and community service for America, especially rural America. It may be out of the scope of this discussion, but I still worry about cutbacks, removal of offices, and basic services. It's not zero-sum, but the way that Congress hamstrings the USPS, I fear something has to give, until they are afforded more freedom in how they conduct business. I don't want them to lose their community service focus and become completely business oriented, which may require a change in their relationship with Congress and their operating mode.
