I believe the explanation that everyone is looking for with this revenue sharing piece is there is a difference between revenue boosting, and revenue saving. With all the competition from the major players in our market today, we constantly have to integrate new services at no additional price

Revenue sharing is a sales ploy and for all practical purposes doesn't really exist in the accounting world. For instance, if we pay a royalty or a commission on a sale, that payment goes into expenses on the PL statement. I guess you could say that all expenses share revenue, assuming there are
