I've posted this to the CKFR board as well. I was wondering what the deciding factor was for CKFR to take an equity position in BLLS. If CKFR was getting a lot of requests from mid sized billers and they didn't have the time to process them why take an equity position in BLLS. If they referred the biller to BLLS they still would have received a percentage of the transaction. I think its more than that, I think CKFR has invested in BLLS so that BLLS can build their interactive call center. Once this is complete I bet CKFR outsources to eCare (Billserve 24/7 call center). Any comments would be appreciated
