Has Tucows considered offering an email service totally based in Canada that would provide users with the security of at least knowing that a court order would be required for the US government to access their email.

This isn’t a matter of citizens breaking the law. This service needs to be presented as supporting the basic human right to privacy, of maintaining business communications secure, and of keeping medical records, sensitive legal, military or personal information private without a court order.

Tucows could provide a free service that is ad supported, or a limited free service like Hush.com with a premium service available for a monthly fee.

Google has gmail. The domains for cmail (for Canada mail) or tmail (for Tucows Mail) are both available for purchase. There would be many other ways to brand a service like this.

One way to get visibility and some good legal advice on how to implement this would be to get Mr. Geist in an advisory capacity or as a member of your board of directors.

Tucows – We’ll keep your data safe.
