丹麦邮政终止送信服务
在数字化时代，寄信过时了，国有丹麦邮政（PostNord）宣布将于年底终止信件递送服务，结束长达四个世纪的送信服务。丹麦邮政将裁掉三分之一员工，专注于盈利的包裹递送业务。公司 CEO Kim Pedersen 说，丹麦人几乎都收不到了信了，这一情况已经持续了多年，他们平均一个月收到一封信，与此同时他们更热衷于网购，丹麦邮政也要跟上电子商务时代。丹麦邮政在 15 年前还运营着几家大的信件分拣中心，如今只剩下哥本哈根西郊的一家。自 2000 年以来，该公司处理的信件数量下降逾九成，从约 14 亿封降至 2024 年的 1.1 亿封，这一趋势还在快速下降。随着丹麦邮政退出送信服务，私有的 DAO 将接手全国的信件投递业务。丹麦是全球数字化最高的国家之一，其程度仅次于韩国。 via Solidot
