Definitely not!

I presume you've read the correction I sent after my
first posting. The .edu, .com, etc domains are and remain
valid (until of course the Internet drops them altogether).
Some sites do have domain address under .us, the structure
in general being .state.us (e.g. .tx.us), so .us *is* used,
but you shouldn't mix it up with the 3-letter Internet
domains (and .edu.us or some such is definitely wrong).
