We have explored partnering with some of the folks in this space. We still may. I am of the opinion that the long-term solution is not even close to being reached. Also, I honestly don't know that we could add a lot of value for you guys in the current environment (ie. partnering with pool, club drop, snapnames, etc.). I would love to hear where you think we could help you. I hate to waste time where we cannot add value.
It may not be directly adding value for us (RSP's) if you jump into the drop catching game... but assuming a considerable rev. share from domains sold through a drop catcher's auction site, it means there's an additional revenue stream for Tucows. Something that makes our wholesaler more wealthy, diversified, and stable ultimately helps us.
Looking at it from the standpoint of a stockholder the same is true.
I know that in a world of hundreds of threads we cannot do much on our own.
True, the competition is formidable - much of it on your side of the border no less. Nevertheless, opportunities abound and it's far from too late to get into the game.
That's enough prodding from me, though. :)
