Techy: UK Second Level Domain Names

This recent article on “El Reg” (The Register) about .uk domain names got me feeling like just listing all the .uk secondary level domain names that currently exist and who administers them. A number of these were actually missed out in Kieren’s article – but who am I to point out omissions on such an excellent site (yep, The Register is one of my regular reads and has been for several years now).
