However, this new direction seems to me to be much more of a gamble than the original strategy. I still think the original Bank-centered strategy will work, however. Pete is just attempting to provide some insurance, if he can.

If e-bill / e-pay is a digital checkbook...and it is, then for those millions who never balance their checkbooks on a monthly basis who needs to go to a bank site to pay bills? Like they don't care what their checkbook balance is now...so why would that really matter if it doesn't matter already?

Put the Web Users Digital CheckBook where the Web User already is...I say..said...and believe for those millions who don't care, balance or pay attention to details about their checking account. And yes Yahoo! does come to mind...I heard a lot of people go there on a daily basis.

Shoot at all the distribution channels and let the consumer sort it out. Or like a Gyrene buddy of mine use to say, 'kill them all and let God sort them out' Consumers will rule this e-bill distribution medium, it's success or placement within the digital world....not a hand full of banks. Yahoo! ET AL are the MOST visited sites on the WEB bar none, to ignore this shift in behavior patterns among 10's of millions of consumers for this type of service is a folly.

I go back to this...e-mail is everywhere...e-Check Books will be too!
