- CaveTech 13y agoSo then why are you surprised? This isn't a normal thing in North America and seems like you are a fan of the service, so the funding is justified. Maybe it's an obvious concept but it's not developed here.
- erikb 13y agoNormally technology is invented in Silicon Valley Start-Ups and then either copied or expanded to Germany. To see a slow developing company like the German post company (previously government owned) use a technology for years and then seeing people getting totally excited about the idea in the US years after is just a strange experience.
- cjensen 13y agoIt's a normal service of the US Postal Service too, but they will only allow mail in the box; FedEx and UPS are not allowed to use them. Maybe that's a business opportunity for USPS.
- neel_murthy 13y agoYou're right, but it's not common in America, that's where we come in, with a few other tricks and tech up our sleeves...
- erikb 13y agoI agree that there is a lot to improve upon the existing designs. Don't worry, my surprise was not meant as criticism on your project.
