Quasi-ownership? You mean that the ownership is vague, or that there are
other owners. For me, the BBC is a government chartered corporation, but
owned by the Crown. Indeed, it's a Crown Corporation, with a
politically-appointed board of directors.
The Postal Service is a U.S. Government sponsored corporation, owned
DIRECTLY by the government, with TWO politically-appointed boards (the
Postal Governors and the Postal Rate Commission).
So, full, agreement, except the last sentence of your post. There is no
quasi in ownership, just governance.

John,
I am of the belief that the BBC is owned by the U.K. government in the same
sense that the United States Postal Service is owned by the U.S. government.
It is a quasi-ownership situation.
