I think a point that has been missed is that this situation shows how little influence the 3rd party processors have with VISA.
If 3rd party processors like iBill, Paycom Epoch etc had much influence then there is no way that this thing would have become public until they had firm answers and a clear plan of action for all the cirumstances.
Without trying to place the blame at the feet of any single company, I would like to know how a company can justify making announcements of such gravity and then be saying over a week later that they don't know how things will affect significant segments of their customer base ?
None of this makes sense unless you assume that the 3rd party billing companies have either completely dropped the ball, or just have no influence with card associations.
To all 3rd party billing companies: "The adult webmaster community is looking for answers , we're not getting them, we are your customers , what are you doing ?"
