Salah satu bentuk Public Service Obligation (PSO) di bidang komunikasi adalah penyediaan Layanan Pos Universal (LPU) yang mana pemerintah menyediakan layanan pos jenis tertentu sehingga masyarakat dapat mengirim dan atau menerima kiriman pos di seluruh wilayah di dunia dengan harga yang terjangkau oleh masyarakat. Pelaksanaan Layanan Pos Universal atau Layanan Pos Dasar telah dilaksanakan oleh pemerintah melalui BUMN sejak era kemerdekaan sampai dengan saat ini. Di dalam perjalanannya, terdapat perubahan-perubahan yang prinsipil terkait penyelenggaraan Layanan Pos Universal, namun belum terimplementasi secara penuh sesuai dengan ketentuan Undang-Undang Nomor 38 Tahun 2009 tentang Pos. Permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah adanya perubahan prinsip pelaksanaan Layanan Pos Universal sebagai Public Service Obligation (PSO) berdasarkan ketentuan perundangan bidang pos dan implementasi pelaksanaan Layanan Pos Universal oleh pemerintah berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 38 Tahun 2009 tentang Pos. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis-normatif dengan pendekatan preskriptif-deskriptif analitis sehingga dapat menggambarkan perbedaan penyelenggaraan Layanan Pos Universal di masa sebelum ditetapkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 38 Tahun 2009 tentang Pos dan setelahnya. Penulis menemukan terdapat perubahan-perubahan prinsipil penyelenggaraan Layanan Pos Universal setelah Undang-Undang Pos diberlakukan yaitu perubahan terkait penyelenggaraan layanan pos universal, mekanisme penunjukan penyelenggara Layanan Pos Universal, prinsip kerahasiaan surat, dan sumber pembiayaan Layanan Pos Universal. Namun, pemerintah belum mengimplementasikan beberapa amanat dari Undang-Undang Pos seperti pelaksanaan seleksi penyelenggara Layanan Pos Universal, prinsip kerahasiaan surat tidak lagi menjadi prioritas perlindungan, dan pembiayaan Layanan Pos Universal kini bersumber dari kontribusi dan Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN). Penulis menyarankan kepada pemerintah agar segera mengesahkan ketentuan mengenai mekanisme seleksi penyelenggara Layanan Pos Universal dan mempertimbangkan mekanisme pembiayaan Layanan Pos Universal yang lebih baik

However, the government has not implemented several mandates from the postal law such as selection of the Universal Postal Service provider, the principles of letter confidentiality are no longer priorities, and financing of Universal Postal Services is now sourced from both contributions and National Budget. The author suggests to the government to immediately ratify the provision regarding the selection mechanism for Universal Postal Services and consider a better Universal Postal Services financing mechanism.
