My employer, MITRE, is known for being the first to register a .org TLD. It's a pretty neat bit of computing history.

- fl0wenol 8y agoWhy hello there, I was just about to point out the same fact.
- technofiend 8y agoAnecdotally they also chased after a consultancy using mitre.com and forced them to give up their domain. The founders had gone to MIT and Rice University and were in a completely different sector but MITRE didn't care.
- panzagl 8y agoMITRE's not really a consultancy, but I wouldn't call them a completely unrelated field. Mitre.com now belongs to the soccer ball company so they couldn't have been too tight-fisted with it.
