Postcomm consults on a long term licence for Zip Mail Limited
Postcomm today began a 30-day consultation on the proposed issue of a new long-term licence to Zip Mail Limited.
Under the new licensing framework that took effect from 1 January 2006, Zip Mail’s licence would:
allow it to provide all types of postal service;
be issued for a rolling ten year period;
require the company to comply with codes of practice on mail integrity (safety and security of the mail) and common operational procedures
(designed to ensure the multi-operator market works well in practice).
The consultation document and proposed licence can be found on the Zip Mail Limited consultation page. Printed copies are available from Postcomm at Hercules House, 6 Hercules Road, London, SE1 7DB. The closing date for responses is 12 October 2006.
