Got nothing against CCBill either - they have performed well over years and provided the service they have been paid for.

Tho, tis only my two cents worth - overall - third party processing is not an easy biz and time it was changed, but meantime some oversight organization needs to keep an eye on em and/or a method of indemity/insurance/whatever needs to be put in place for the protection of clients. These companies, irrespective of how they wish to describe themselves, are similar to banks and other financial operations. They handle funds belonging to others and need controls.

If you are thinking of a CCBill takeover - that would be funny :-)

The iBill scenario, when it is transparent, may motivate others to change this model. It's hard to say whether this will end up good or bad for the industry.
