[edit] Regarding "Domain name registrar"
Tucows has, as mentioned bought NetIdentity/NamePlanet. As a result the mailsystem has been "migrated", with a horrible result. See http://info.netidentity.com/. Users have been unable to get mail for 3 weeks, mail is lost, mail is available to others - all sorts of problems. Link explaining the case: http://digg.com/tech_news/Tucows_screws_up_NetIdentity_and_NamePlanet_migration
I begin to wonder if this should be mentioned here? The reason is not only that I am one of the customers involved, but also that this seems to be such a scandal, involving lots and lots of users. The privacy issue seems serious. But being involved, I don't think I should write about it. People are talking lawsuit, bringing the company down, and so on - but it might just be an ordinary IT failure that everybody will forget in a month.

- I can't see the point in just changing the section about the migration back and back again. Couldn't we just discuss it and then leave it. --Kaiolav72 12:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
