A Call for More Revenue

Diversification is seen as a way for businesses to ensure future success by making more products and services available to more customers. Postal Services around the world have been introducing many new products and services not typically associated with the business of delivering mail to accomplish this very idea. One of the latest opportunities is cellular phone service.

Correios, Brazil’s Postal Service, is working on a business plan to buy airtime from other cellular phone providers and resell it to their own customers. The organization seeks to use its strong brand name to introduce the new service and generate an additional source of revenue. It’s a move that’s currently in the development stage of production, but has potential if it comes to fruition.

Do you think the USPS could offer cellular services in the United States?
