>>>>>TV ALERT (CNBC)!!!>>

Well, the story finally aired about 1:35PM. Not much to write home about, mostly spoke of Americans love of their checks for making payments, and how companies like FDC (and a couple of others -- although no mention of CF) are trying to streamline and reduce the cost of clearing paper checks (for example, using a point-of-purchase scanner to scan the magnetic ink on a check to ensure available funds). Didn't even remotely touch on EBBP.

However, one interesting sidenote -- in an earlier story, CNBC did an interview with the new chairman of one of the companies hawking discount long distance service on AOL, and asked if they were going to get into electronic bill presentment, to which his response was an emphatic yes (again, no mention of CF or TP though).

p.s. -- sorry 'bout my "staccato" and delayed posts. I've been ridiculously sick over the past two days. It was basically all I could do to crawl out of bed, get the "CNBC alert" posted earlier and then wait a looong hour and a half for Bill Griffith to get around to the story...
