"With Tucows’ success in wholesale and retail domain names (OpenSRS and Hover, respectively) and more recently with mobile phone service (Ting) and fiber Internet (Ting Internet), tucows.com/downloads has become less relevant when looking at the balance sheet."

I had no idea that:

- Hover is Tucows

- Ting is Tucows

- Ting sells fiber service

- OpenSRS exists

So, nice work PR team? It's been a long time, but Tucows really did used to be the go-to non-scammy software download site. So, to whatever extent that's still a thing people need to use, this is good news!

I had no idea that site was still around. Kudos for surviving. That name though...
people still use that site?
