Question: Wouldn't all the partners of CYCH that I have been reading about, be worth the purchase by CKFR. CKFR could then dispense with the CYCH *form* of bill presentment, and replace it with CKFR's own product. That is, the *customers* might be worth the purchase???? Note that AOL recently bought an Israeli company whose product is similar to AOL's Instant Message, especially for its 12 million extra subscribers. We need some CKFR employees' input for more pros and cons of this!

I agree that CF likely isn't interested in CYCH. Only last year CF sold off it's real-time CC processing business to concentrate on the bill presentment and payment businesses. Involving itself once again in purchase-payment processing would represent a field reversal.

I also have to believe that if/when what CYCH does begins to generate material business, the likes of FDC, Total, Nabanco et. al. will step forward and beat them into the ground.
