It all depends on the details and the market, but yes - like I said in another comment, we're really open and flexible about how we deliver our service and I could see a few differ…

Good catch, thanks. I'll pass it along...

If you feel like giving us another chance, we've got Ting in GSM which might resolve the Ting on CDMA data issues you experienced. Thanks for the kind words about our customer serv…

Yeah, I expect we'll have a few more openings there. Right now we're hiring a City Manager for Westminster - details are here: http://www.tucows.com/careers/

We've got the answers and we've got customers and we're about to go into launch mode with the full website, etc. I'd be inclined to ignore "Press Release Rollouts" too - most telco…

Everything we're working on now runs on our own infrastructure or muni-infrastructure. Nothing white-label in the works, although I wouldn't count it out (we're an ISP, we like to …

Yup, we're laying fiber. We're also partnering and a number of other approaches as well. Charlottesville is primarily our own fiber.

$89/mos for 1000/1000 and we'll also have an entry level option as well. Not billed like we bill for mobile service, no ;-) We've been around the internet long enough to know that …

symetric, $89/mos, use your own router, NN before it was cool. (oBDisclaimer: I work for Ting)

I'm aware that they are going through an overhaul of their customer service systems, process and probably the people. Its tough to grow as fast as they are, especially in this area…

I like to think of price as a reflection of positioning & strategy. If your strategy is to aim at the high end of the market, then your price should reflect that. If you are lookin…

Weird, my Spotify kept playing while the map was mapping... I had to manually hit pause in the Spotify client...

Would the title more accurately be "Sign up for a course that promises to teach you how to scale your venture without screwing it up?"

Do you make a distinction between "managing up" and "managing expectations"? I've always chosen to do the latter and view it as the same as "managing up" and your comment makes me …

No, we're on the same page. My point is that you should never receive most of those email in the first place. If they don't get sent (because there is a functional email culture in…

Totally! this is exactly right. I work with one small group of people that outside of our weekly status meeting, shares a ton of chatty one-liners via email several times a day. It…

I think this is misguided and would seem to reinforce bad practices, poor etiquette and bad culture. bad practices, i.e. if you want work life balance, don't check your email when …

I've just finished listening to a radio interview where the guest asserted that technology and innovation is solely the domain of young white males focused on social networking pro…

There's a management view that one should never try to manage their manager's performance. I agree and you've offered good advice ;-)

What kind of help or advice are you looking for specifically? Your post doesn't make it clear what you'd like help with. i.e. finding a new job, negotiating a severance package, re…

If I understand and remember the finances correctly, debt takes them to about $3b in the hole. Not much of a success story there...

Be a professional. Both parties will expect notice and you can't give it to them. My approach would be to talk to my boss at the contracting company, explain that personal issues w…

You seem to be conflating competitive games with using game mechanics to achieve a result. Gamification goes well beyond points, badges and leaderboards and helps managers tap into…
