I'm the first one to rant about this -- not very happy. But you have an excellent point. The software provider feature could be a life-saver. Of course, many times these things look very different in bill form than when deployed. This sounds very similar to a "magic cloud" that exists in many architecture diagrams :) ADD: And if you're looking at software providers, I'd be interested in running the numbers to see how their business model would work. They'd have to take payment. They'd have to be bonded. They'd have to collect from the states, provide a categorization system, keep files updated, file paperwork along with monies. Would they have to work internationally? Be categorized as a money Exchanger by treasury department? It doesn't sound cheap. But it certainly sounds like something Amazon would be happy to provide as an API.
