I think what we're looking for, though, is transparency. One of the things that's happened in Australia, because they were restricted in terms of the interchange fees they could charge, is that they have started offering a plain vanilla card. Then if you as a consumer want the premium card, there is a fee for it. In other words, they are actually charging the person who should be paying and should be understanding. It's like having a tax that should be dedicated to what you want to spend it on. What we're getting here is such a bunch of confusion that nobody knows who's paying what.
