I have to question the wisdom in this notion. Obviously for any given
product offering there is a threshold below which it is not profitable
(either because revenue is zero or negative). Perhaps Tucows did some
forecasting and concluded that the potential revenues from a service
nobody really wants to buy or sell would be outweighed by the costs of
setting it up.
