Considering it costs about $100K for each ATM, plus periodic maintenance,
it's great business sense for the eBanks to use competitors machines (which
are in place, at great cost) and just refund the fees the ATM owner charges.
Their customers would have to use EACH SINGLE ATM machine 30,000 to 50,000
times to cover the cost of having their own.

The cost would also involve finding someplace to put it. Perhaps with some national
aliance with some place like 7-11 or Exxon stations could do it, but otherwise they'd
have to real scramble to arrange with people to allow them to install these things.

By the way, I only paid $20 for my ATM, and I think I bid too high.
