US Postal Service Reports no 2010 Increases for Periodicals

The postmaster general, John Potter, has remarked the USPS will not increase prices for 2010 on First Class, Standard Mail, Periodicals, and single piece parcel post. This is indeed good news for magazines and cataloguers, and , therefore, paper producers.
A quick review of the past 10 years illustrates nearly a 40% increase.
1/2001 +10%
6/2002 +3%
1/2006 +5%
7/2007 + 12%
5/2008 +3%
5/2009 +3.98%
1/2010 -0-
