Educational Consortium Will Control .edu Domains

PxT writes: "According to this Reuters story, the U.S. government is going to hand over control of .edu to an association of 1800 college IT departments. Anything is better than Verisign ..." I wonder how long VeriSign cried over this move, considering that it probably wasn't very lucrative to administer .edu names. (It would be very nice to see .edu domains that aren't only 4-year colleges, too, so I hope that happens.)

Dr Evil may apply...

[po_boy]

for evilmedical.edu. After all, he didn't spend 8 years in Evil Medical School to be called "Mr. Evil".

I just want one thing.

[GoNINzo]

ninja.edu.

I've wanted since the begining of all this, and every time i've applied (at multiple places) when asked by the person 'is this a 4 year school', i patiently reply 'One cannot become a ninja with only 4 years. ha! ha! ha!' and then they hang up on me, I think cause of the mocking tone.
