Hey...so I ask you do you see anything in what BillServ.com is putting together? I mean to me it's a no-brainer, but I'm simple....do you see their power?

The one thing I've noticed....folks can't THINK and talk at the same time. ie..there's a head scratcher going on here...and that is why would Yahoo! partner to present CheckFrees bills only, when they could also grab TransPoints too via BillServ.com? I look at i this way...because BLLS did it with both, then both got two partners...in other words BLLS ownes all those 50 CheckFree billers plus 40 TransPoint billsers giving them 90 at their site.. And the 64 Billion dollar question is if you were Lycos...who would you call to host your portal billing service....CKFR with 50 billers, TransPoint with 40 or BLLS with 90, the sum of both? It's that simple...DUH....that's my point. And I think the Exchange deal between the Banks? Pushed technology companies to unite, and BLLS got stuck in the middle.
