| Message | against, against and again against, this low will lead to a desertification of the regions of Republic Of Beiteynu where operators will make the least money. We strongly vote against, every person shall be free to have mail even if living far from main cities |

| Message | people would still get mail in remote regions, it would of course cost them more, but thats the same with a nationalised service. If an area is left out, a niche in the market will develop, and a company will fill it, since companies want to make money, and an area with low competition will guarantee profit. Nationalisation provides an unofficial monopoly, since unlike private companies they do not have to make a profit, and can in fact make a loss (at the expense of the taxpayer, in effect forcing them to pay twice). Would the AHD not agree that this is not fair on the people who run private postal services, since the state hinders any attempt by them to become successful? |
