Monday, May 19th, 2008 is Victoria Day in Canada (and some parts of Scotland as well as the Cayman Islands). Canadians traditionally celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria by spending the weekend opening up summer cottages, going camping, or doing some gardening. Monday is usually capped with fireworks displays.

As a result, Tucows headquarters in Toronto will be operating with reduced staffing:

• Technical Support will operate as usual, with regular hours.
• Platypus Support will be available from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. ET
• Compliance, Payments, Service Bureau and Special Processing departments will all be closed Monday.

To those celebrating, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday!

ISPCON Spring 2008 is underway in Chicago. This morning, Elliot Noss, CEO and President, Tucows, took to the stage to deliver his keynote address titled, “Why You and Lowfat Lattes are Google’s Worst Nightmare.”

David Snead from TheWHIR has a nice summary of what Elliot talked about today.

Snead writes, “What Elliot talked about, that strikes me as true, based on those of my clients who are successful, is that successful Internet businesses are high touch, and that people will pay to have their problems go away.”

For the benefit of those not in Chicago for ISPCON, or for those at the show who want to have another listen, we recorded the keynote it in its entirety.

If the player doesn’t work for you for whatever reason, or if you want to listen on your MP3 player, you can download an audio-only version instead.

Recently, ISP-Planet’s Alex Goldman had a chat with Rohan Jayasekera, Director, Tucows Email Service.

In the article, posted today, Rohan explains our philosophy in creating and running the Tucows Email Service. He also points to some of the features and benefits that make our hosted email solution a sensible choice for service providers.

And you can hear more of what Rohan and other industry experts think about the future of email on Wednesday, May 14th, at 8:45 AM in Room 9.
