>>>But what in theory is included in that 30 cents?

I believe the 30 cents was originally more for marketing...just under the price of a stamp. My understanding is that whomever (i.e. CKFR, CYCH, etc.) process the payment gets the 30 cents. And this is where CF gets indirectly paid for their distribution channel, because if CF is able to distribute bills to a large number of consumers, chances are that they will process more payments. I also believe most billers will choose only one or two different payment providers, it doesn't make sense to have two different payment providers that do the same thing.

I believe bill creation is an additional cost (buying Oracle or NSCP software, etc).

Anyone can feel free to correct me, this is JMHO.
