.US lets individuals,
businesses, organizations and government agencies establish an

organizations, and businesses will be able to establish an American
identity on the Internet with a short memorable domain name. (e.g.,

email, digital identity, and personal web sites. Government and public

It takes up to 24 hours to have your domain working worldwide if your nameservers
have been setup properly. At the launch of the new .US domain
names name servers will have to be put in place worldwide (dns global
updates) this process could take 2 or 3 days, once the .US WHOIS
database is finished with this process it will take up to 48 hrs with
new .US registrations. NB: at launch date the .US WHOIS will need to
resolve the nameservers globally, this could give some delays in the
beginning.
