Abstract

The financial pressure on universal service providers (USPs) arising from declining letter mail volumes and changing user needs increasingly burdens national universal service obligations (USOs). These dynamics have been recently reviewed by Cape and Groves (2017), who provided an overview of different changes to national USOs, their implications and possible future trends.
