![Page 20: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA TANZANIA COMMUNICATIONS REGULATORY AUTHORITY LEVERAGING ICTs IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF POSTAL AND COURIER SECTOR IN EAST.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d305503460f94a08cb5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Limitations and threats• House numbering is not logical and inconsistent,• Disjointed and inconsistent spatial database. i.e.
Many institutions keep databases suiting their needs. E.g. Local Government, Revenue Authority, Voter’s Registration, National Identification etc.
• Street signage available in urban areas mostly regional or provincial capitals.
• Inefficiencies by local authorities in giving information about cities and towns.
• Until recently there has been no Government body with responsibility to drive the addressing system in the country.

Conclusion• The postal service is an infrastructure services in the same
way as telecommunications, piped gas and electricity, water supply, sanitation and sewerage etc. It has distribution network; accessible to all citizens and firms; has standardised services and responsible for a universal service.
• It has to be given its proper recognition and financing by the Government
• The National Addressing initiative is not for the Post Office alone, is for the whole spectrum of the social economic setting of a country.
• Online businesses must be able to rely on a delivery infrastructure that is efficient, dependable, and fast. Posts offer an extensive network of processing and delivery facilities to meet that need.
