>>> I think what the release was trying to say (albeit in a convoluted way) was that Checkfree is (wisely) not going to have any part in tracking, paying or handling customer service for any scanned bills. Yup. From what I've heard this will be an 'add on' services with an additional cost.

This deal may well be an inducement to big billers to go electronic more quickly than they might otherwise have, since I don't think they will appreciate having their customers getting comfortable with having their paper bills electronically converted and presented, which eliminates the savings for them. The paper-to-electronic process may be great for consumers and the butchers and bakers and candlestick makers (dentists, doctors, lawn care guys etc) which send 50-1000 bills a month, but it is BAD for the really large billers.
