Canada Post To Phase Out Door-To-Door Deliveries
Canada Post has unveiled a five-point action plan and unfortunately this means people will loose their door-to-door deliveries, which will be phased out over five years.
Parcels and letters requiring signatures will continue to be delivered door-to-door and more franchised postal outlets are planned. But an estimated 5 million Canadians will loose their regular weekday door-to-door postal deliveries and will receive their mail from community mailboxes instead.
Turntable.fm Closing
Turntable.fm will be closing on December 2nd, 2013 according to the official blog.
The company wishes to concentrate their efforts on their “Turntable Live” operations, a service that streams live performances, world wide.
