  • Royal Mail Plc – Annual Report and Financial Statements 2015-16
    Royal Mail plc Annual Report and Financial Statements 2015-16 Celebrating 500 Years of Royal Mail Royal Mail has a rich and varied history, characterised by a tradition of service and innovation spanning 500 years. For five centuries, our postal network has been connecting families and friends, powering business and driving innovation across the country. In 1516, Henry VIII knighted Brian Tuke, the first Master of the Posts. This act was the catalyst for the creation of the Royal Mail postal service, as we know it today. Tuke had the influence and authority to establish key post towns across the country and set up a formal postal network. Since its royal beginnings, the postal service has continued to deliver the nation’s mail for 500 years, under 21 different monarchs and through two World Wars, employing hundreds of thousands of people along the way. To mark this momentous anniversary, Royal Mail has launched a special website featuring the people, objects and events that played a key role in the development of the world’s first national postal service. Visit: www.royalmailgroup.com/500years Within the pages of this report you will find ‘then and now’ image captions showcasing how Royal Mail has evolved over the last 500 years.

  • GEC Computers Ltd
    V1 January 2015 GEC Computers Ltd. Origins. In 1968 the real-time computing interests of AEI, Elliott-Automation, English Electric, Marconi and GEC, were consolidated into a single company [ref. 1]. It traded initially as Marconi Elliott Computer Systems Ltd (MECS) and then, after 1971, as GEC Computers Ltd. English Electric obtained the non-computing products and the mainframe data processing products were transferred to ICT/ICL. MECS, and GEC Computers, were for many years based at Borehamwood, though the specialist aerospace computing activities were soon transferred to Marconi-Elliott Avionics Systems Ltd. at Rochester. Initially, the range of MECS computers was inherited from Marconi and Elliott-Automation and comprised the MYRIAD series, M2100 series (a small-scale 16-bit multiprocessor for real-time control]), and the 900 series (see below). About 50% of the applications for these computers were described as ‘military’. The other 50% was made up roughly equally of the following applications areas: Industrial, Laboratory, Marine, Education, Traffic control, Communications, Medical. The GEC 900 series of computers [refs. 2- 4], though first introduced in 1961, had a life extending into the 1980s with machines such as the 920ATC. By then developments had for several years been based firmly at Rochester, under various titles such as GEC-Marconi Avionics Ltd. and eventually BAE Systems. The 900 series is described elsewhere, in the Mainframes section of the Our Computer Heritage website. [ref. 2]. The GEC 2000 and 4000 families. By 1970 GEC Computers Ltd. was working at the Computer Research Laboratory (CRL), Borehamwood, on three new computer ranges. These were known internally as Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

Kozak University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee [email protected] Word count (not including abstract): 5001 Abstract Access to infrastructure is a perennial issue in the field of communication, which started in the era of postal services and continues to the present era of broadband networks. As infrastructures, or large- scale systems, information and communication technologies (ICTs) are central to citizens’ political, economic, and social lives. Historically and today, a variety of factors such as political and regulatory decisions impact access to infrastructure. Current concerns about equitable access include the network neutrality.

  • 1 Royal Mail's Response to Ofcom's Consultation on 'Securing The
    Royal Mail’s Response to Ofcom’s consultation on ‘Securing the Universal Postal Service: Safeguard cap for large letters and packets’ Introduction 1. Royal Mail welcomes this opportunity to input into Ofcom’s consultation process on the safeguard cap for large letters and packets. 2. Royal Mail remains disappointed that Ofcom took the decision in March 2012 to extend the safeguard cap to Second Class large letters, packets and parcels<2kg. This response therefore provides further analysis to support our contention that this intervention is not required; along with Royal Mail’s views on the technical questions raised by Ofcom related to the form and structure of the safeguard cap. 3. The key fact remains: Royal Mail is currently [] on Second Class large letters and parcels and more generally this segment of the market is characterised by very low returns for all players. 4. In addition adequate safeguards already exist in this market segment to protect vulnerable groups: i. The universal service obligation already requires that Royal Mail’s prices are affordable, fair and reasonable, and geographically uniform; ii. The continued development of competition in this segment of the market already constrains Royal Mail’s pricing freedom; and iii. There is no evidence to support concerns on affordability (the majority of customers who use these services send only 4 items per annum). As such we do not believe that Ofcom has provided clear evidence to support the need for this additional regulatory invention. 5. Given that this segment of the packets market is evolving rapidly both in terms of customer preferences and increasing competition, Royal Mail believes Ofcom should commit to a formal public review of the continuing need for this intervention to conclude no later than March 2014.
