A Public Service Obligation (PSO) refers to a requirement or obligation imposed by a government or regulatory authority on a service provider to deliver services that benefit the public, typically in sectors such as transportation, energy, healthcare, and telecommunications. The aim of a PSO is to ensure that essential services are available to all segments of the population, particularly in areas that might not be profitable for private companies to serve.
