noserider, re:two questions...

Hi noserider,

I am asking the same questions. I have also seen survey
results that mention a high percentage of people with
computers would use online bill view/pay. But it does
not say how much they would pay to do it, if they would
pay at all.

E-bill is not like e-mail... the customer has to pay for
it.

Also, since the cost is so low, I wonder if Yahoo will
bundle this service with their ISP service, or if others
will start to offer it as a free service with their
access packages.

Just my curiosity and opinion.

Jon :)

The Nielsen Reporter puts some marketing perspective around the soon to be announced deal with Yahoo! and the rumored deal with AOL.

If Yahoo! chooses to use banner ads to advertise bill pay then it might show up in the Nielson Top Ten Ad Banner report published weekly.
