Postal Freedom Index

The Postal Freedom Index was created by the Consumer Postal Council
to serve as an information resource about the provision of postal services
in different nations. The Index takes into account such factors as market
liberalization, government or private ownership of providers, level of
competition within markets, degree of regulation, and universal service.
