Re: You won't know this unless you regsiter domains regularly, but:
Whilst many are going on and on about ccTLD's, we shouldn't forget about second level domains (SLDs) that have rules about what sorts of organisations can use them:
.ltd.uk
.plc.uk
.ac.uk
.gov.uk
.net.uk
.org.uk
.mod.uk
.mil.uk
,nhs.uk
.police.uk
.nic.uk
.sch.uk
Naturally, if your organisation ceases to qualify, Nominet(UK) has the right to terminate your registration ...
