The plan aims to enhance the security aspects in transferring and handling money and prop up aspects of inspection and control over parcels and international mail." Sify News has reported that "Almost 10 months after he was caught taking bribe, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Friday filed a chargesheet against former chief postmaster general of Maharashtra and Goa Manjit Singh Bali, an official said. Chargesheets have also been filed against father- son duo Arun Dalmia and Harsh Dalmia under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988." News On News has noted that "Plaid Cymru's Hywel Williams MP has said that the challenging Christmas weather this year showed why the Royal Mail, whose universal service obligation ensures that deliveries continue in all conditions, was so important."

At number five, United States Postal Service: A Failure of Management –It might seem unfair to start the list with a government bureaucracy.

  • British Penny Black, May 6, 1840 by John F
    Historic Events: British Penny Black, May 6, 1840 by John F. Dunn Portions of this article are taken from an article by Philip Ward in the Mekeel’s Weekly of January 1, 1940. History: The Post Office of Great Britain as a state monopoly dates from the time of Queen Elizabeth I, who reigned from 1558 to 1603, although it was not fully established until 1609, and more than two centuries later that Britain became the first nation to issue postage stamps. Great Britain #1 This took place a few years after Queen Victoria acceded to the throne and began her reign of more than 63 years. That year, 1837, was an important one in the events leading up to the issuance, on May 1, 1840 for use starting May 6, 1840, of the world’s first postage stamp, the British Penny Black; for it was in 1837 that the father of the first postage stamp, Sir Rowland Hill, published a pamphlet promoting penny postage and the use of a postage stamp to pay for it. Hill first started showing a serious interest in postal reform in 1835. At that time the need for postal reform was obvious. Not only were the rates complex and the handling of the mail cumbersome—every letter needed to be recorded. In addition, most of the mail was sent unpaid, with the postage cost to be collected from the recipient. At a time when Britain was becoming a far-flung commercial empire, such a system simply did not work. One of those in government who were aware of Hill’s interest in postal reform was Robert Wallace, a member of Parliament, who was a leading advocate for postal reform.
