The problem with this model is that FedEx and UPS only "compete" with USPS in the segments of the business that are actually profitable. The USPS, on the other hand, is required by law to charge the same price to send a letter from Manhattan to Brooklyn as one from Manhattan to Guam.

The USPS also has a monopoly, by law, on first class mail.
