The mail boxes are part of the services provided by the post office, so you cannot put non-US mail in those boxes.

Aren't you just too cute by half, bless your heart?!

By your definition, AT&T was not a monopoly. And at least with AT&T, "their" infrastructure was not protected by the threat of a felony conviction.

“Too cute by half????”

Well, those are the postal regs...I don’t understand the anger here...you folks must have lost a lot of mail.

Apparently trying to explain how the postal system was administered makes you angry. Have you a felony conviction?

The entire Postal service has always been funded by its sales of postage. They are only now going in the red because the sales are not there, and they will have to make major changes. They needed to apply for permission to set their rates, as they do now.

I have no idea what you are talking about, because ATT was broken up by court order because it was a monopoly. The high cost of capitalization and the constant undercutting and buyout of any competing system made competition impossible. The court ordered that the competitors could use the infrastructure. The situation is not analogous to the postal service, which have as their only exclusive space the box. If you don’t believe me, the regs are there for you to look up.

Have a nice day, and don’t let the post office ruin your day - life is too short.
