When Postmaster General Creswell penned his concern about the
impact 2 of electronic diversion on his postal organization, the
year was 1872. General Creswell, it turned out, fretted
unnecessarily. Facsimile did not achieve commercial viability until
roughly a century after his tenure as Postmaster General and today
that technology is fading rapidly from the communication scene.
Moreover, it never appears to have significantly affected physical
letter volumes. However, if General Creswell were leading a major
postal organization today, he likely would feel threatened by the
potential of Internet communication to cause electronic diversion
of physical mail. Should recent technology developments cause the
oft-predicted (but so far incorrect) inflection point that would
mark the beginning of declining mail volumes. the implications from
a management standpoint will be profound. The relatively fixed
nature of postal costs suggest that volume declines must be offset
though improved productivity, reduced cost of inputs, revenue from
new products that share common costs, or reduced level of universal
service.
