Ken Schafer Joins Tucows

_This is a slightly awkward but, given my role as Publisher and Contributing Editor of One Degree and “background in the industry”:http://www.schafer.com/kenschafer/ it does seem appropriate that One Degree break this story. Pardon me going all Michael Bolton and talking in the third person._
“Dave Woroch”:http://resellers.tucows.com/about/team2#sales, VP Sales & Marketing for “Tucows Inc.”:http://resellers.tucows.com/about/ today announced via an e-mail to all Tucows staff that industry veteran and Publisher of One Degree Ken Schafer is joining Tucows as Vice President Marketing effective April 3rd.
Tucows provides “Internet services”:http://resellers.tucows.com and “download libraries”:http://www.tucows.com through a global distribution network of 6,000 service providers. This distribution network primarily consists of web hosting companies, ISP (Internet Service Providers) and other Internet related service companies. These companies use Tucows’ provisioned services to offer solutions to their customers: enterprises, small and medium businesses and consumers. Tucows is an accredited registrar with ICANN(the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and earns most of its revenue from domain name registration services plus hosted email, spam and virus protection, “Blogware”:http://www.blogware.com, website building tools, the Platypus Billing System and digital certificates.
While Ken will be winding down his eight-year-old Internet consulting practice at the end of this month, One Degree will _(okay, should)_ be unaffected by Ken’s new role at Tucows.
