The Act introduces a new system of licensing and regulation for postal service operators/providers operating in the area of the market currently reserved largely as a monopoly for the Post Office. This is called the reserved or licensed area. The Act gives the independent regulator, the new Postal Services Commission new duties and powers to protect the interests of users of postal services. In particular, it enshrines the universal service obligation in primary legislation and makes it the duty of the Commission to ensure the delivery of this universal service at a uniform tariff. Subject to this duty, the Commission is required to further the interests of users, wherever appropriate, by the promotion of greater competition in postal markets. The Commission will be able to promote competition through recommending changes to the scope of the reserved area and by permitting licensed competition within the reserved area. The Commission will also have responsibility for setting quality standards and regulating prices.
