The problem is that rural USPS is _not_ reliable (source: have lived in multiple rural locations). USPS is reliable in cities. Internet is also reliable in cities. Most people have phones. For those who don't, alternate infrastructure that leverages the internet could easily exist, and would be way more efficient than the USPS network. Watch this get downvoted, because people really emotionally _care_ about USPS.
