A co-worker got a call from these guys today. Who did you contact in 1988 to even register? The US Commerce department? These guys are in VA and seem to scream Feds...
Update: These guys are serious players
I've already found two that are older, uga.edu was registered 14-Mar-1988 and mit.edu was registered 23-May-1985. I bet a lot of the big .edus are some of the oldest domains.
