Re: Barron's, not the facts, maam, not the facts. The Hype and Reality:an Update site on the Checkfree home page can have another field day with this one. They will eventually have to get more pages and bandwidth to keep up with the need for this page. It's so unfortunate that the spinmeisters @ MSFT, et partners are constantly fabricating their role in society and its sole savior position. Time for Checkfree to so some of its own spinning, i.e. the truth. Lets get articles out there which say TrashPoint may be a competitor and may eventually have a realtime ebill deal with one or two billers and has hopes for a portal contract on the Microsoft Network, which will have to use Checkfree to process its ebills because they are unable.

>>>This Barron's Article is TOO MUCH!! Thanks for your comments on the article, totally agree. But Brooks, don't worry...when Yahoo! roles out, Microsoft/FDC will no longer be able to control the press. Yahoo! will be the most powerful weapon in EBPP, it will be an explosion. Another note is that TP has yet to sign up even one national biller (AT&T, MCI, Sprint, or Qwest), CheckFree has all four, two are up and running. In addition, TP will not be able to offer pay-anyone for some time, I doubt if they have even dusted off Citi's old mainframes yet...I would love to see some of the spaghetti code in those old mainframes. Most likely be some data center issues if they are doing some of the processing in Denver and some in New York, not to mention NT servers[Denver] just can't handle transaction processing. Benny(IMHO)
