I was referring to the companies that have already tried and died. Read the thread. See the list.

I was done with this thread but I can't believe Rand is still beating that drum.
"Not talking about anyone specific here". No he is not, he is scare mongering. Trying to scare people away from even trying Zombaio or anyone new to protect his market share and the expensive processing rates of epoch and ccbill.
Dropping in words like "reckless" to imply that Zombaio are being reckless and then hiding behind the words "not talking about anybody specific" to deny that he was talking about them when questioned as to how they are being reckless.
Epoch are clearly sufficiently concerned by Zombaio's pricing model that they need to constantly remind us of the companies who have tried and failed to break into the market just to make us all think that Zombaio will also fail but as previously pointed out companies like ibill were expensive and they still managed to fail due to mismanagement of their resources and having a bloated workforce and expensive cost model.....as it appears epoch do if you read earlier in the thread where Rand was claiming he had done a cost comparison and that nobody could process for less than 10%.
Whilst I kind of admire Rand for coming in here and fighting his corner and not just keeping quiet until it blows over and returns to business as usual like ccbill are doing, using other companies' failures to tarnish a competitor with lower processing rates is not the best way to justify your own high processing rates.
There is a lot of good comments in this thread. "Big companies can fail also", "Don't put all your eggs in one basket", and of course "Competition is good". The only negative comments about Zombaio come from people who haven't actually used them, and "wouldn't because of ibill etc". That is a common theme on any Zombaio thread not just this one.
If it wasn't for competition, we would all be sitting at our $10,000 IBM desktop pcs now.
