- Zip + 4 data from the post office takes up something like 30 2400 foot
- 1600bpi tapes, or something in excess of 1.3G of data. I don't know of
- any archive site for it, and given the size I doubt there is one.
-
- The post office is perfectly willing to sell the data, it costs something
- like $1500/year, with either monthly or quarterly updates. (With logic
- only the Post Office could use, the cost is the same whether you get the
- monthly or the quarterly updates.) If you are interested, call the
- customer service rep at your local post office. They will refer you
- to their addressing systems group in Memphis. (There is a toll-free
- number for that office, but I don't have it handy. Sorry.)
