What if the U.S. Postal Service decided to provide an E-Mail for every citizen, Ie. JohnSmith2468@USPS.USA.
As a follow up they set about using telephone poles as wifi hotspots across the country?
Basically someone at the post office early on goes "E-Mail? Hmmmmm, Mail . . ., Wait! That's Us!"
Not wishing to become dinosaurs or the equivelant of Telephone booths the organizzation dives in to the on-line world.
When would such a program be feeasibble to begin?
Who would be in favor of it? Who would try to stop it?
Effects on the World?
What other countries would follow suit?
Perhaps Gore wins in 2000 and after being laughed at for 'inventing the internet' decides to run with it.
