"I see Scanbuy aligning with Verisign (or some competitor to Neustar)."
Will ScanBuy continue to build out their backend clearing house seperate and apart from NeuStar? Who will back them with the big $ in doing so? ShopSavvy has GOOG backing their backend server farm efforts. I suspect you are onto something as it's always been ScanBuys intentions of going IPO. Thats been the direction of their VC's since Day 1. More to come...
