qroqqa commented on the word postalization
The most obvious result of tariff rebalancing and competition in long-distance and international markets has been the postalisation of telecommunications prices. The term ‘postalisation’ refers to the trend towards flatter pricing levels which are increasingly distance-insensitive, mimicking the pricing of old-fashioned postal services which impose a flat rate for delivery of a standard letter, regardless of whether it’s going across the street or across the country.
