>>>Benny, how does this Netscape thingie work out with them being with AOL????? Well, from what I know the Netscape software is mostly designed for billers, to allow billers to present from their legacy systems. Eventually I could see 'Spectrum' presenting bills in AOL in a long with Intuit/CheckFree. Basically CheckFree needs to continue to sign up and run with billers and banks as quickly as they can. If they could get the BoA's and E*Trades of the world, it would be nice. CheckFree current lead is their biggest advantage. Transpoint is almost DOA, and is turning into a proprietary system for msn and citi. It does not look like TP will sign one top 10 bank or broker (other than those relating to citi) Benny(IMHO)

For us slow learners, can anybody just explain in simplest terms how this Sun/Netscape/Spectrum thing affects CKFR? When I first read it, it looked like a major step forward for Spectrum. And on second reading, it still does, despite the hype and the obvious false propaganda it contains. Specifically, this line: Currently, retail banks offer their consumers the ability to pay only a few of their bills online. Which is just a lie -- any bank using CKFR allows consumers the ability to pay ALL bills online. Should I be concerned? Is Spectrum getting some traction after all?
