Needless to say I was on the phone post-haste when I heard the announcement.
Their lay-offs were focussed on Sales and Marketing redundancy that their
business-unit structure resulted in (I surmise, and this is only personal
supposition, that at one time they may have been thinking about a spin-off
of their Internet business -- if so, those days are gone)
Nonethe less, I can safely say that:
This will have no effect on the operation of or customer support levels for
our certificates (there were no operational lay-offs of which I am aware).
It is business as usual as far as Tucows certs are concerned.
Happy Selling
