Back to The "Dairy Queen" Bill Presentment & Payment Model. I figure it this way......as the internet becomes more of an everyday thing and we count on it for interaction with eachother...the interaction with our checking accounts will come as second nature in our future. Now I see that Countrywide, Countryside...whatever bill pay deal like this Joke....and I'm not good at telling Jokes.....but here goes. You have 2 guys in a fishing boat, one guy is a Fish & Game Officer, and the other is a known to be kinda progressive when it comes to fishing. Well here they are in the Boat, the progressive guy gets out a match, strikes it on the side of the boat and lights a stick of dynamite and tosses it overboard........fish everywhere. The Fish & Game Officer then shouts; "hey what the hell are you doing?" "I'm going to have to arrest you!"......the progressive fisherman then gets out another match, strikes it on the side of the boat and lights a stick of dynamite an hands it to the Fish & Game Officer.....then simply states, "are you going to sit there talking, or start fishing?" And the Summary it is this....if non-banks can provide 'bank-like' services it is up to the banks to grab the dynamite and start fishing, or they will get blown up holding off this revolution by the non-banks.. JMHO.
