	Appendix U - The Universal Service Obligation and the Postal Monopoly
		In contrast, the current Postal Service universal service obligation is to deliver virtually all of its services to every address, but the type of delivery service can vary by household; some households have service to the door while others have service to cluster boxes.
		Under the current Postal Service rate structure, the ability to pay is not an issue because there are no explicit network connection fees, and postage fees are a small part of the average household's expenditures.
		Because of these limitations and shortcomings, and the fact that postal services are provided under a number of different institutional frameworks, the results of these studies are of limited use in addressing postal USO costs in the United States.

		The bill is a very distant relative of the Postal Services Legislation Amendment Bill 2000, which proposed more extensive deregulation of the postal service industry and which the Democrats emphatically opposed.
		In one of its first key areas, the bill aims to shift to the Australian Communications Authority responsibility for the monitoring of, and reporting on, the supply of postal services.
		The government has argued that, as Australia Post retains a monopoly over the delivery of reserved letters and there is no impetus of competition to drive improvements in the delivery of services, the involvement of the authority is therefore needed to drive improvements in the delivery of the services provided by Australia Post.

	Appendix U - The Universal Service Obligation and the Postal Monopoly
		The justification for the postal monopoly has been the maintenance of postal universal service, which is vulnerable to selective, cream-skimming competition.
		Under the umbrella of the Private Express Statutes, the Postal Service is able to support the USO through a degree of "cross-subsidizing" on a geographic basis, as various routes are more or less expensive to serve than others.
		The Postal Service's reply to this GAO report pointed out that moving from a monopoly environment to a nonmonopoly environment represents a significant change in the postal market and that conventional models of Postal Service cost and revenue would be inappropriate in such scenarios.
