With more newsagents disconnecting their Bill Express equipment, the challenges for the Administrator of Bill Express and liquidator of Technology Business International are considerable. While the equipment is installed and on the counter the equipment can be quickly identified. Once it is in a box and put in the backroom of a newsagency it is likely to get lost.
In my newsagencies we are removing the equipment and un-cluttering the counter. Since we have technology experience it is easier for us than others. It is a service we may offer others who want to do the same. Anyone with basic computer skills can handle this.
On the Bill Express screens, I’d love to hear what the Swish group think about this. Their last announcement to the ASX about the Bill Express screens (in April) was that they were thrilled to have the Bill Express screens added to their network.
Mark, you are not wrong there. When everything is in the backroom anything could happen!!
the advertising screens require the black IBM computer box and the rest of the equipment under the counter for their ad updates and management. if the computer is switched off, it will fail to update the screen among other things.
Anon, the computer might be needed to update the ads on screens, but with nobody around to provide any updates, they are redundant anyway. There is no point having a screen in store that is advertising products (bopo, bill payment, phone recharge) which are no longer available. We have turned off the screens and we have removed all equipment. I would rather find a way to use the screens to my advantage than allow Bill Express to advertise their defunct products.
Can you tell I am angry?
