is rumored to have said:

I do like the fact that if someone puts
a letter with my address in a post office box anywhere in the world, it
makes its way to my snail box within a reliable service standard.

For a very unusual definition of "anywhere" I guess that's true. I would guess that you have not tested Venezuela, Turkey, Gaza, Borneo, or North Korea for inclusion in "anywhere" but I suppose that most of North America and Europe work that way, usually.

The direct corollary to that factoid is that all email should therefore be run by government entities with nationwide monopolies. I do not expect this to garner much support by anyone currently running any sort of commercial mail service on either end.
