Wow, I’ve never really thought about this. Any idea where I’d go to get (I assume very rough) numbers on people with addresses vs. phone numbers?
- toast0 5y agoNot sure if you can find stats, but many countries simply don't have a mail service infrastructure, but darn near everywhere has phones. Even North Korea has phones, although there are administrative barriers that prevent calling between most domestic NK numbers (+850) and the rest of the world. Rural postal service gets pretty iffy in the US, and in countries with less resources, you might only get mail service in big cities.
- necovek 5y agoI would imagine NK postal service works well. I would imagine that postal services work decently well even in the poorest of countries and only war-thorn areas are less accessible by post. I am not talking of next-business-day services, of course, though they are picking up everywhere too.
