NeuStar has made a press release and there's an AP article over at Excite about it. Finally a country code that I'll register in." This has been brewing for a long time, and has been criticized as a giveaway.

    I wonder what new technology they had to implement to handle .US

    Seriously people they are LINES IN A DATABASE. It's not like they had to re-invent the internet.

    Let's see

    browser => DNS => IP => browser => WORLD.

    So what? Our DNS servers should be able to handle any extension.

    This shouldn't be news!
