Some VERY interesting stuff in CKFR's 10-K freeedgar.com As part of our strategy to broaden availability of our electronic billing and payment services on the Internet, we recently entered into a distribution contract with Yahoo! Additionally, we recently extended a processing agreement with Bank One Corporation to provide services, including electronic billing and payment, to WingspanBank.com. We are currently in discussions with other Internet portals, including Excite@Home to whom we expect to begin providing our billing and payment services by December 31, 1999. We plan to undertake significant marketing initiatives with Yahoo!, WingspanBank.com and other Internet portals to dramatically accelerate the adoption of our services by consumers.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it is NEWS that: 1. Excite@Home begins this year -- both billing and payment. 2. "Significant marketing initiatives" -- this possibly IN ADDITION to the huge advertising campaign already announced unilaterally by Wingspan. 3. The Wingspan deal is signed. (I guess we could have guessed that when Wingspan's CEO showed up at CKFR's analyst briefing, but I still like to see in nailed down.)

Also for any who doubted that Transpoint is being left in the dust, I found this interesting: We have contracts with 64 billers, which represent the opportunity to deliver over 500 million bills per month, representing over 70% of the telecom bills,24% of the utility bills, 22% of the mortgage bills and 28% of the credit card bills in the U.S. Our goal is to distribute bills from over 90 billers by the end of fiscal 2000. To encourage billers to utilize our services, we anticipate funding a portion of some billers' set-up costs. Hope they don't spend TOO much setting up the billers, but if it helps nail down the dominant position in the market, OK.

>>>>Now I wonder what will happen if I ask Checkfree to send a check that needs to be delivered a month after I entered it. I hope they wait to send it until a few days before its due. I'm sure they do...but who knows maybe the pushed it out early? >>>>Thanks again for your vote of confidence in my ministry. Thank you for our internet friendship, and the ministry you have given me when things turn upside down.
