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.

    It seems a bit strange that a goverment agency, on the subject of combining all americans under one roof, would require that they all be running ms word to fully understand what they have to say - doesn't it?

    while I could simply buy eds-taco-palace.com and everyone knows it's in the States.

    That's because only we Americans have lousy enough taste to both:

    • Name a business "Ed's Taco Palace," and
    • Register a globally-visible domain for something so inherently local.

    We gave the country away to John Ashcroft, might as well give the TLD away to NeuLevel.
