Great, Great article Richard! For one, you have confirmed to me (via article) what I had been told by the PR dept of IFM---They will make $175 mIllion this year! And..<<the U.S. mortgage industry. That's a multi-billion-dollar opportunity we think. We also have a first mover advantage in that market. We're there and no one else is. >> <<<The Montreal outfit processes hundreds of thousands of mortgages electronically at $5 U.S. each, and is starting to generate terrific traffic in Internet payments on behalf of customers. >>> Can you belive that-'no one else there'! Didn't realize it-but a lot of revenue will come from this. Again quoteing the PR lady whotold be about "very good recurrent business"--Guess its the mortgage business. Great! we havent scratched the surface on the others. <<<primary competitors? >>> Sterling & Harbinger -I knew-but Cybercash!! as e-bill--surprised. Was convinced CKFR--with its signing of 50 of top 100 billers would be! Can anyone tell me why Cybercash?? On acquisitions---<<<<, it's that there just aren't that many companies of significant size that you could actually buy. It's going to be a building thing, too. >>> So it looks like IFM plan on buying several small companies and buid from the inside too. Richard-good scoop--confirmed many things for me rgds salva
