The Integrion demo cuts out the biller. This will be worked out as the market matures. Where does the gas company get in their pitch for double-paned windows? Billers aren't going to give up this marketing opportunity easily. Check out the Transpoint demo and notice how you don't get the option to PAY until you view biller detail which includes some biller content.

very good point. - along the same line - transpoint won't even let bill payers set up recurring payments, they force them to go look at their bills every month and in the process see the extra 'content' supplied by the biller.

Not all billers are worried about the marketing aspects right now. Many (including some very large billers) are simply after cost savings, and therefore don't need the TP/"thick consolidator" model. I know this to be the case at AT&T, for example.
