This, to share his vision on the future of the Belgian Post Group (which basically came down to downsizing their post office & postbox network, to ensure future profitability & competitiveness) Of course, a stamp on that letter was not required. But the missing portrait of King Albert on the enveloppe was compensated by a picture of president Johny on the letterhead... I wonder how many people actually have read that letter...and what the real cost would be for a non-governemental company to launch such a mail drop. In his 'future vision', i detected no anticipation on the increasing importance of digital communication. Seems like the BPG's answer to this phenomenon is to be found in competing & diabolising it, instead of embracing it... Johny Thijs recently sent a -classical- letter to every household in Belgium.
