Quite. The cam.ac.uk examples I quoted are also managed by a number of 
independent organizations. OK, all with "Cambridge University" in a 
broad sense, but we are a devolved organization (and indeed comprise
many legal entities, not just organizational divisions).

[And strictly, "the first string before the TLD" in "cam.ac.uk" is 
"ac".]
