Post offices don鈥檛 have enough space to cope with the tremendous increase in
demand for PO boxes, which are used to conceal addresses. So Pitney Bowes,
better known for its mail-franking systems, wants to create virtual PO boxes (EP
1053798). In future, anyone who wants to conceal their location will rent a
鈥渂ox鈥�, which exists only as an address on a post office database. Mail posted to
this address is then re-routed by machinery at the sorting office, which sticks
on a pre-printed label to whatever address the box holder has specified. So
celebrity holidaymakers, say, could receive mail at their exotic hideaway.
