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.

    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.
