TBR Drop - Jun 7, 2023 (1.Viewing)

Eby · May 31, 2023

It's another week and another list, already 4250+ in the pile.

A big company dropping it's domain collection of almost 800 domains covering Alberta, BritishColumbia, Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, Ontario, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec and Toronto. Surprisingly not from other major cities like Vancouver, Halifax and NewBrunswick. Imagine owning them for for 18 years and then dropping. Wow. The cost of doing business. Is this a sign of things to come with CIRA's proposed price increase?

That's nuts - all those years and all those renewals - hope he sold a lot over that period of time.

I don’t blame them, I’ve started dropping a lot of my geo .ca’s too. The average Canadian has very little disposable income anymore, and it will likely get much worse before it gets better. The CIRA price increase is just salt in the wound.

No way, they've got charities to fund and swanky non-profit dinners to attend.
