Sounds like you're describing a market opportunity for a 'bill  
aggregator'.  "Customers who don't mind being ripped off" has to be a  
great opportunity.  Maybe members of the Nanny State Project would  
sign up for a payroll deduction that would take care of all of their  
utilities, insurance, and maintenance.  Thar's gold in them thar hills.
