npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) at present a lot of other carriers offload their deliveries to remote locations to the PO as its cheaper than doing it themselves. If that, and higher prices, led to less mail for these places going by Royal Mail then that would no doubt push up the unit cost of doing it even more.
The excess cost of providing a universal service by a common carrier should really be covered by the government that imposed a universal service obligation on what is now a private sector company.
