Sorry, but I don't see anything new there.

Did they add some additional zip codes?

you can use them to fill in forms on line - some ask for a zip codes before you can continue - I had previously been using my old uk code for registering for various sites

They should start fresh and use something that uses GPS/GIS technologies. It works for pizza/taxi drivers.

Hahahaha! I was thinking the same thing: I have seen the Post Office in Santiago but never seen any mailmen. What a way to dole out patronage jobs I dont see why they didnt think of it?

I posted this because I saw a commercial last night that made it sound like it was big news but the plan is doomed to failure not because no one uses them but because evn if they did, there is no real coherent plan to numbering of houses or even naming of streets in Santiago. In Porto Plata everything is labeled, with green street signs and in numeral order but in Santiago its like you have to have been born here to know a little. And trust me, the people who are born here dont even know that much about this city apart from where they live.
