Hi Rocki, just a little friendly fire :) In April, BCE Emergis and partners Bell Canada and Microsoft Corp. un-veiled an "electronic-bill-presentment service" that has been touted as one of the largest E-commerce initiatives in the world. The service will enable Canadians to receive and pay bills electronically through E-route Inc., a firm owned by six major financial institutions, including the Royal Bank of Canada and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Edwards said the E-route project is still in the develop-ment stage. "We're spending monev to get organized so there's no revenue just ex-pense at this point," he said. "Initially we'll probably have to spend a little bit more money than we get in revenue but it will eventually generate about a billion dollars over the next 10 years."

this is perfect timing.. this NR is either YHOO's move against future competition from IFM or were seeing a new alliance being formed. news.com and if you look at this one, i would bet that IFM is already talking with YHOO. with Rogers & ATT out of the way, BCE and it's family (SBC/Amerit. included) would be the perfect replacement. news.com my trick knee is starting to act up again, which usually means there's a storm brewing.
