It will be same as returned mail. There are services that are being advertised that can replace credit cards with using digital id from mobile. We can do something similar. Just an alternate payment.<br />If we have a returned mail if postal id works then we don't need mailer to go to the address and get the postage due. In this case it is paid instantly over the phone. I think every home address need a postal address need a postal identifier and any postage due can be sent as a montly bill or electronically paid over the phone or web. Less mailing but postage paid and no stamps to print. If it mails, mail!Francishttp://www.linkedin.com/in/francisshajialaphatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-33400474133486179862011-03-29T12:20:34.130-07:002011-03-29T12:20:34.130-07:00I like the idea, but I'm sure Denmark has a lo...I like the idea, but I'm sure Denmark has a lot less mail than USPS, and we're talking about adding the capability to read handwritten entries in the postage field.grannybunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-22608596913248931982011-03-29T07:00:25.349-07:002011-03-29T07:00:25.349-07:00Yes, this is something that should be looked into....Yes, this is something that should be looked into.
