A quick browse of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains suggests that matching on all domains ending with ".edu" will get you the US, and domains ending with ".edu.[country]" would match in many other cases. There are some exceptions though (eg Austria appears to be *.ac.at*), so it might be a matter of picking through each ccTLD to produce a list.
If you want to get more specific (college/university/tertiary only), then this approach won't be sufficient. In the absence of such a list you may be able to crowd/outsource something. - Roger On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 9:00 AM, Dean Collins <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the reply Richard (being older than email….never had to go > through this)**** > > ** ** > > Are the domains themselves standardized eg @UTS.EDU.AU @NSW.EDU.AU etc > etc.**** > > ** ** > > Does anyone know of a worldwide/usa only etc domain database.**** > > ** ** > > Eg how do startups like www.FreezeCrowd.com allow people to sign up ONLY > with school provided email addresses.**** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > Regards,**** > > ** ** > > Dean Collins**** > > *[email protected] ***** > > +1-212-203-4357**** > > +61-2-9016-4652 (Sydney in-dial) **** > > +44-20-3129-6001 (London in-dial)**** > > ** ** > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto: > [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Richard Kroon > *Sent:* Sunday, November 25, 2012 4:51 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [SiliconBeach] University email addresses?**** > > ** ** > > I know about Sydney, uts and macquarie. > > Sydney has a "unikey" which is first letter of first name, first three > letters of last name, 4 random digits.
