How to get more people enrolled in electronic billing
27 Jan 2009
B2C eBilling has failed. In its many guises (Electronic Billing, EBPP, EIPP, Paperless Billing), ebilling has been around for many years now, yet adoption rates continue to fall dismally short of expectations. The replacement of environmentally damaging paper bills with convenient electronic bills, has achieved adoption rates of no more than 10% to 15% across industries, despite the claimed benefits for the environment, business and consumers.

Why is something so obviously beneficial so problematic? What is it going to take to get consumers to engage in an electronic billing relationship that turns off paper, saves costs and improves service delivery? How do we get consumers to "Go Green"? How do we get more people enrolled in electronic billing?
