The more than 40x price difference is not all about speed, insurance, and tracking. No private service would providing first class mail delivery without cutting off service to unprofitable rural areas or jacking up the price significantly. Or, more likely, both.

I don't know how you can prove that, postal services worldwide have been a government run business until very recently, and are still kept as a monopoly even after being privatized. Fedex cannot ship your normal mail, they are not even allowed to do it. As for your claim that private companies will not be going in unprofitable rural areas, well even the USPS does not go there anymore (or much less often) : http://m.wfpl.org/?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F#mobile/3846 http://m.wfpl.org/?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com...
