On March 2, 2010, Postmaster General Jack Potter announced a plan that is intended to ensure the long-term viability of the Postal Service in a changing marketplace.   The plan, entitled Ensuring a Viable Postal Service for America - An Action Plan for the Future and its supporting documentation consume nearly 300 pages of text, graphs, and source notes.

As with past announcements from the Postal Service, the major media outlets have focused on one major issue; the Postal Service’s desire to change to five-day delivery.  In fact, the Postal Service’s comprehensive plan involves much more than seeking a change to five-day delivery.
