<<In the CC they mentioned something about B2B invoicing>> I was doing a little sleuthing and wandered to the Commerce One site. Turns out Citi is prominently mentioned as the payment and presentment engine. I wonder if CKFR is an unannounced partner with Citi or whether CKFR will be a competitor. If Citi is going to develop a competing system for B2B wouldn't they also use it for consumer payments. Any ideas? commerceone.com In addition to linking buyers and sellers, Citibank Procurement Connection will benefit participating enterprises through distinctive financial service features, such as immediate online executable currency exchange rates, financing, procurement card capabilities, digital certificates, electronic business-to-business bill payment and presentment, and electronic payments linked to a company's accounts payable processing.

Benny, I would imagine that ATM bill payment and presentment would be easy to adopt. You can present at the ATM and a consumer could pay all their bills where they get their cash. Has'nt this been raised before. I asked Pete this privately and he smiled and said he could'nt answer that question. I know I can pay my CC bill at an ATM now, how far of a stretch is the above? It would be wonderful to get a late rally that carries the stock over 100 today, I doubt it but the shorts would crap in their pants, I wouldn't want to be short over the long weekend under that scenario. Regards, Rob
