Also, if INTU doesn't control the biller and aggregator channels; there is less opportunity to use QUIKEN, Turbotax, etc. as the defacto front-end. just a thought.

>>>If Quicken.com had their e-bills on a portal in the finance area. And then MR. Portal said, "hey we want our own branded service just like Yahoo!" My 2 cents. Here is what I think happened....AOL and Intuit sat down and started negotiating... Intuit wanted to bundle it's other services (Mortgage site, Tax stuff, Quotes, etc., etc.) along with EBPP. AOL looked at the bundle and realized all they wanted/needed is EBPP. AOL started talking directly to CheckFree. Intuit files suit. Benny(IMHO) Glad to see Intuit give its blessing to the Yahoo deal (i.e. CF press release)
