Not sure I buy the “not critical infrastructure” argument. Even if 95% of public (and private) correspondence is digital these days, paper-mail is still used as a fallback for some institutions and whenever a physical copy must be sent for whatever reason.
That is an easy question to answer. Sending letters becomes non-critical when it is cheaper to send the incidental letter as a package than it is to maintain the letter sending service.
Keep in mind that Denmark is a very digitalized society. Nearly everything is digital secure mail, like bills and information from the municipality or government. I’d say it’s closer to 99.5% than 95%.

I don’t think 95% is right, but in any case, when does it then stop being critical infrastructure? At 99% digital correspondence? 100%? Never?
Must we maintain a working national postal service, with all its employees and logistics, just in case?
