Kurt, thanks for coming by. You are not frequent visitor lately. Must be busy signing up new customers. I think the whole product strategy sounds suspect. Any thing that requires a new "client" on the users computer is a poor strategy, from a consumer acceptance, cost and support perspective. They will have hard time trying to get into my computer, big time. <g> Golden rule: no extras, no headaches. Once only I did a silly sing - bought Quicken, but to my defence I can proudly say I've never tried to use it.<g> I don't think that using email to deliver the bills will give the billers what they want the most, which is the ability to enhance the one-to-one relationship with the consumer. With no relation to Trisense, I think email will be widely used in ebilling. First of all, bill is a bill, it must be delivered to the customer. No one will rely on customer's good will to come to the biller's web site to pay the bill. Second, considering volume of bills, many millions a day, it's cheaper to dump them in the email after midnight, that to keep extra capacities at day time providing access to the data base server. IMHO, most of the people will have email in the near future. I tried to explain why I think so in my post #3211. But I don't expect an average joe-six-pack to start browsing the Web any time soon. And the last, there's nothing that prevents email from providing one-to-one relationship. It can be attractive, it can have biller's logo, graphics, links, voice message attached, etc. just like regular Web page.
