Sounds interesting.  From what I understand they aren't so much looking into using bitcoin as they aer using the technology behind bitcoin to create their own postcoin  by using colored coins to do that.

Will be interesting to see how everything transpires ;  http://www.coindesk.com/us-postal-service-bitcoin-exchanges/


Anyone know if theres any video/audio of this meeting or was it private ?

I was going to ask "how", but don't think there's anything of substance here.  The video boils down to " a company will look into researching something".

OP, I wish you had sexied up the title a little bit with some of the contents.

Researchers at the inspector general's office look into the possibility of incorporating Bitcoin.

"Money orders, money transfers, prepaid debit cards… They already have a money transfer license."

in my country, the post is :
- for letter
- for medium size box delivery (max 10kg)
- is a bank (a big one !)
- is a phone provider (cheap cost for not regulary customer)

so with bitcoin, it can make transfer money more secure (and cheap !) than the regular bank transfer (SEPA).
