Faculty of Computer Science TU Dortmund (along with the universities of Paderborn and Karlsruhe) brought the Internet to Germany in the 1980s. The first point of registration for .de-domains was at the Dortmund University Department of Computer Science in 1986. The national Domain Name System service was started in 1988. The involvement of Dortmund University employees in internet registry and administration ended in 1993. To this day, the university has registered the domain udo.edu (udo being short for Universität Dortmund), although the .edu-domain is today restricted to United States-affiliated institutions.
