revoked .edu's: does it happen?

Isn't it Jeffery Case that sez "as we say down on the farm,
reality diverges greatly from reality"?

Has anyone ever heard of a .edu domain being delegated and
subsequently revoked because the owner's organization was not
a four-year degree granting institution??

[My apologies for injecting some non-operational noise.]

someone at internic popped in a day later and said they'd all be
removed. from poking at a copy of the edu zone file circa then, i can
"derive" a long list of names that have been revoked.

i'd suggest you also read domain policy, but the signal to noise ratio
there makes this list seem like standing right next a speaker stack at
a ministry concert in madison square garden. without earplugs. :slight_smile:
