Questions

Which .edu launch phases and dates are shown?

The current result includes IANA registration starting January 1, 1985.

Published launch source

When did .edu reach documented general availability?

No general-availability event is included in the current result. Other launch records do not establish a public-registration date.

Can a sunrise or IANA date establish who could register?

No. A sunrise date describes a particular phase, and IANA registration is separate from delegation and commercial availability. Use the source linked with the event for its published conditions.
