This article was in the July 19 issue of BW. A one page synopsis of the E-Commerce. businessweek.com It states, ******************* Every year, American business sends out 29 billion bills. And by any measure, the exercise isn't much fun. For companies, printing, processing and posting a typical consumer bill runs about 90 cents." By the end of next year, industry analysts estimate upwards of 4.5 million households will be receiving bills online. What's more, sending and handling bills over the Net should be about 40% cheaper than paper delivery" SLOW TO ACT. The question is who will become the bill collector on the Net. Bankers reckon that if they can turn their Web sites into mailboxes for electronic bills, they can become key entry points on the Net--portals, even. That would enable them to sell other financial services online. The fear is that existing portals, such as Yahoo! (YHOO) or even America Online (AOL), will become centers of bill payment and, in turn, siphon off existing bank businesses. ''Banks have been slow to get into this,'' says Kenneth J. Kerr, a Gartner analyst in Durham, N.C. ''But they realize there is a threat here and they need to get aboard.'' "MUSCLING IN. Big banks also are worried that technology companies offering bill presentment could muscle into one of their fastest-growing businesses--managing cash for big companies. After all, distributing and collecting bills is a close cousin to cash management. Last month, the battle over Net billing took a bruising turn. CheckFree Holdings Corp. (CKFR), a Norcross (Ga.)-based tech company that delivers bills on the Net, wound up pulling a secondary stock offer after a coalition of Chase, Wells Fargo (WFC), and First Union (FTU) said they were forming a venture--the Exchange--to route bills to their customers. Investors saw a challenge to CheckFree, and the company paid dearly. On June 21, CheckFree had sold 3.8 million shares to investors at $39 each. But by June 23, CheckFree's shares had plunged to $28.75. The company canceled the sale the next day." ****************************** The question I have are: Would WINR be considered a bill collector in the E-Commerce game? Would the above venture be a reason for the current low performance of the stock? Thanks
