>>>TLindt, just popped in for a bit and saw your last post. You mean you didn't want to type in all 114? You're getting to know me pretty well..........ask me and I may tell ya? >>>If it did happen like you say, CKFR sending the bills to MSFDC for free, how long would Gates permit this action? No....what I'm saying is that Checkfree takes their reduced fee for Bill presentment..and then ships the bill off to an MSFDC 'branded bank. Where the 'branded bank customer initiates payment'. And the 'branded bank' is not charged by MSFDC. How is MSFDC going to make money? BY GETTING THE BILLERS BY CHARGING THEM FOR EVERYTHING???????? Maybe that is why Checkfree is out signing them 3 to 1. >>>I see some kind of showdown on the horizon! And if Bill gets pissed and tries to hurt CKFR, who will the banks follow? Maybe this is another fatal flaw? If I were a 'biller' and my bank chared me everything for the cost of collecting? As opposed to spliting the cost with me 50/50. IT WOULDN'T TAKE ME LONG TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT. I'D SWITCH BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
