T: From Jim Seymour's column on TheStreet.com today: Behind the scenes, AOL has also been putting together an online bill-paying service it will soon offer to members. (Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq) rolled out its online bill-paying service first, but faces substantial lingering hostility in the banking business after Bill Gates' ill-considered remarks in 1997 about wanting to get into electronic banking. AOL looks like a much safer partner to many bankers -- and it brings as a dowry those 18 million-plus members/prospects.) How ironic is that? Filtered through AOL, CKFR looks "safer" to bankers. Hah!
