With the numbers and political/legal power potential represented by the
institutions here, there should be a way to pull that registration from
Vantage Media Corporation and permanently block future possible
registrations of edu.com. What if it had been an internet porn merchant
-- off shore?

Given the number of years that a porn merchant *did* cybersquat on
whitehouse.com, and the political/legal power represented by the group
on the corresponding .gov, I doubt a mere coalition of universities is
going to be able to do much about Vantage Media.....
