Reading the transcript of the call, brings these interesting points to light. (you can read the entire transcript at http://seekingalpha.com/article/90637-tucows-inc-f2q08-qtr-end-06-30-08-earnings-call-transcript ""We have a portfolio of over 39,000 surnames and we believe that this will be one of the stickiest internet services available and will help to drive renewal rates and growth amongst our reseller channel as well as in our retail offering.""" """On to the domain portfolio line of business, where I will remind you that we own more then 150,000 high value domain names. Our domain portfolio generates revenue in two ways. The first is direct navigation revenue. The second quarter saw a 40% increase in revenue from our direct navigation names compared to the same quarter last year. However, revenue was down 12% compared to last quarter in direct navigation or parking revenue.""" """This decrease is industry-wide as Google and Yahoo have started to decrease payouts to syndication partners. The second way we generate revenue from our portfolio of domain names is through the sale of those names. You will recall that in Q2 of last year we had one unusually large domain name transaction of just over $3 million. In Q2 of this year we had another bundle sale of roughly 3,700 names for a little under $1 million. Outside of those two transactions revenue from the domain portfolio is up 61% year-over-year showing the growth we expected.""" Update
