Tucows released their Q2 figures a couple of days ago, and they are impressive.

$20 million revenue is not a figure to be snorted at.

Full breakdown here and transcript of the conference call with investors here

ICANN's  next meeting is being held in New Delhi.

ICANN meetings are supposedly free and accessible to the public.

So how come the hotels they're suggesting cost about US$400 / night?

Most delegates would be attending for most of the week, so the cost of the hotel bed ONLY would be in excess of US$2400. You still have to factor in food and transport ie. getting a plane from wherever to Delhi.

So if you expect Joe Public to be attending ICANN meetings maybe you know why he doesn't now!

Whoever organised the meeting needs to get a grip on reality

And don't expect the locals to attend either, as the average Indian has to survive on less than 20 rupees a day (the lowest price hotel on the ICANN site is over 14 thousand rupees!)
