John Berryhill, writing on the ICANN Registrars' list: "As of this morning, we are one million registrations into the first TLD designed to be a mis-type of another TLD. Go check the status of your favorite .EDU name in the .EU registry."

He's right. Check the .EU whois. EUrid received landrush registrations for university names like "ucla.eu" (University of California at Los Angeles) and "uark.eu" (University of Arkansas) and "utexas.eu" (University of Texas) and, my law school alma mater, "vanderbilt.eu" (Vanderbilt University). In fact, my not -so -scientific random -sampling study of university -names -not -likely -to -have -equivalents -in -Europe (like "uidaho.eu") suggests that every university name in .EDU was registered in .EU in the TLD's first days of open registration.
