Servus John et al, Ack to all you wrote with a single exception, squire John. The first paragraph ought to be in past tense. I just started digging into that topic, what I already know is: Address scanning/reading in, applying 2-D Codes and timestamps at every stage of transportation. When post office cars or private delivery services stop in front of my house here in .AT my signature is performed on an electronic pad. At first sight I'd say massive datasets generated by snail mail and packet sorting and processing systems are generously inviting companies to spy on each other and combat competitors abroad. Analysis of delivery cycles, timely detection of hostile marketing campaigns, tracking and blocking delivery of goods under patent/copyright claims or whatever the clone offsprings of ancient DMCA ACTA/TPP/SOPA/PIPA require. What a nice topic to dig - ahem - to dive into, methinks.
