You still have to have stores supporting that idea, and that's where I don't 
see any progress.  Third party companies can not handle this; it has to be a 
major store chain that already has stores everywhere.  I wonder why, since it 
would ENSURE customer loyalty - if I have everything set up with, say, 
megamarket, and they had reasonable prices, I would not switch to someone 
else just because the price was a bit lower.
