.CA turns 25 years old today! Nearing 2,000,000 domain registrations...

The domain name registry that operates the .CA ccTLD, Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), announced today that the .CA domain is turning 25 years old. The very first .CA domain name was registered to the University of Prince Edward Island in 1988. Currently there are 1,925,775 domains registered under .CA.

It was on this day back in 1987 that the .CA domain extension was officially delegated by Jon Postel, operator of Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), to John Demco at the University of British Columbia (UBC).

I went to UBC for a few years starting in 1989, wish I had stopped in on the .ca pioneers but ofcourse didn't know anything about domains then.

Nice milestone for a cctld to reach, 25 years! or any extension for that matter.
