....>there would be a "five-month gap" he doesn't say between what and what? not only that, but they also have to do one hell of a lot of CS hiring and training, and they have to BEGIN to get to know the CS people at the companies they'll be paying non-electronically. Lots of those relationships are personal ...CS people at CF have been in contact with, and know their counterparts at the merchants they deal with, and that facilitates cooperation when it might otherwise not be available. And that's what get answers quickly. Those relationships don't get created overnight.

..so unofficially TP has pushed back until year 2000. I would push that past first quarter 2000, banks are freezing until after Q1, in order to build Y2K fix time into their IT project lists. So if you begin after first quarter, then implement, test, pilot, launch... see ya in 2001! Gregg

so unofficially TP has pushed back until year 2000. Excellent point. I'm in NYC working at the IT for WallStreet show and I've been talking to a good number of banks and brokerage houses. Quite a few of the IT people have emphatically stated that they won't roll out anything new after summer. Since MS says the TP stuff won't be ready until probably next fall, its doubtful that any IT pro would touch this until next year. IMO, if MS publicly says x months, automatically double it and add a quarter for good measure. So, in this case, we're probably talking about sometime next year for the TP release. -tk
