Tucows Inc. (AMEX:TCX, TSX:TC), a leading provider of Internet services to web hosting companies, ISPs and other service providers worldwide, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 ended September 30, 2006.
Last weekend, I presented as part of a panel discussion on Net Neutrality at the alt.telecom.policy.forum
Tucows is holding a “Best Dressed Squishy Cow” competition as part of our Hallowe'en fun and games. The contest is only open to staffers, but I thought you'd like to take a look at Ian Hall's submission on behalf of the retail services team.
The next month is going to be a busy one for many of us here at Tucows. In additional to the usual work stuff, some of us will be making appearances at the following conferences:
Zimbra's message and collaboration clients represent some of the latest innovations in Ajax web applications, so when they talk about Ajax development on their blog, it's worth reading. Here are some articles that caught my eye.
Tralliance, the good folks that brought you .TRAVEL, are looking to implement something they are calling “search.travel” in the .TRAVEL TLD.
I really find the whole Net Neutrality debate somewhat disheartening. There are two sides to this debate, one rooted in the realities of the way the internet works, and one rooted in trying to “optimize” the internet to the advantage of a very specific set of applications (video and voice traffic) offered by a very few providers (primarily large network operators).
Mark Jeftovic of EasyDNS makes some great points about the CIRA Board of Directors election currently underway. CIRA is the organization responsible for running the registry and managing the policy for the dotCA ccTLD.
Since we launched this blog with the announcement of the Kiko acquisition, it's only fitting that we launch our podcast series with a Kiko-related podcast.
Over at TalkCrunch — Mike Arrington's weekly podcast covering “Web 2.0” companies — the most recent post is a podcast interview with Elliot about our recent acquisition of Kiko. The podcast runs for 19 minutes, 35 seconds.
On August 26th, 2006, Tucows was the winning bidder in the widely discussed (Techmeme, digg.com, Stowe Boyd) eBay auction of the web-based calendar application Kiko.
