Where is this quote from: “The .edu domain was originally intended for educational institutions anywhere in the world, when it was launched in 1985”? This seems historically dubious. While I appreciate the argument that all educational institutions should have access to the .edu TLD, like .com the original intention was likely for US. The US dominated the early history of the Internet (and still does).

"the original intention was that any educational institution anywhere in the world could be registered under the EDU domain"
from RFC1480 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1480#page-3
"The US dominated the early history of the Internet (and still does)."
Only until North Korea finishes their secret time-machine (Codename: Ding-Dong).
