Charlie,
>>>Why do they feel they need control?

For all the same reasons a consortia like Integrion falls apart! When you buy a standardized service offering they can't, or at least they think they can't, a)differentiate their service/brand b)independently establish the service quality they offer c)independently add features/functions d)service both consumer and commercial markets d)manage costs-most; and, to answer your query; no, they do not understand the cost and complexity of aggregated bill presentment and a "pay anyone" system, and many (particularly the utility billers, which have operated as monopolies not needing to care about what the consumer wants) do not UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONSUMER WANTS. IMHO
