"I also recall chatting with Frank Schilling late in 2000 after we both had purchased many domains at the time that .ca was deregulated. We talked about the .ca vs .com space and about our respective strategies. I remember Frank saying “your kids will thank you”. He knew then that while .ca was a good investment, it would take years before ccTLDs would chip away at the .com market," Silver added.

"Realizing that people would start using the internet over print directories to find local products and services, I spent weeks researching and purchasing English and French domains covering the main headings for local search. During that early stage I successfully acquired many domains like Limos.ca, Plumbers.ca, Photoraphers.ca, Schools.ca, etc.

"Armed with a strong portfolio of generic .ca domains, I gathered a talented team of designers, developers and marketers to help build a powerful local business advertising platform – n49 Interactive was born," Silver said.
