"In the focus groups we have conducted, every one of our customers told us that bill presentment is very high on the list of transactions they would like provided via a Web site," said Mr. Brown. "There are a lot of customer expectations about being able to have bills" over the Internet. And so CKFR gets 30¢ per transaction after First Union gets their cut.

>>This method of bill presentment may be short-lived, though. "By sending the bill to Checkfree, we lose the ability to interact with our customers on a monthly basis," said Klaus P. Werner, marketing manager for BellSouth.<< Mr. Werners customers will still interact with him, Either they will love the new service available to them or complain about thier phone service, or the billing meaning if there was a problem it wouldn't be checkfree's fault would it? Checkfree presents the bill for customer to view and pay, through bank web sight right? AW,Benny, Am I getting this...or not.

This method of bill presentment may be short-lived, though. "By sending the bill to Checkfree, we lose the ability to interact with our customers on a monthly basis," said Klaus P. Werner, marketing manager for BellSouth. Re-written by an idiot...guess who? This method of bill presentment may be short-lived, though. "By sending the bill to the US POST OFFICE, we lose the ability to interact with our customers on a monthly basis," said Klaus P. Werner, marketing manager for BellSouth. IMO...and I'm guessing...this guy has never even seen e-bill in action. Because that is not my experience, based on being a user. Checkfree is in the Bill delivery business, just like the Post Office, except CheckFrees e-bills(sm) provide multiple links back to the bill distributors site. What BellSouth gonna do as a replacement distribution method? Distribute bills to every Bank in the U.S., plus all the E-mail addresses? Like I said, don't think the guy knows what his company has it's hands on...
