... what the heck became of Digibill?
With all this speculation about trademarks, it just occurred to me what may have happened to Digibill.
Remember Bill Black, a co-founder of Plug n Pay? Despite the hype about Larry Roof being the technological mastermind behind Digibill, Bill Black is the owner/applicant of the trademark. Black's Plug n Pay Technology, along with a new entity, Power to Sell, is alive and well. Bill Black is not named in the corporate structure of Power to Sell, but his name shows up in misc. documents as being associated with Plug n Pay.
Does anyone know if Bill Black is still a PanAm employee / consultant?
