I can't tell you just when it became active, but it's used just like
the "UUCP Project's" .com and .org domains, except that you don't get
gouged for money.  If there isn't already a subdomain of .us
established in your area then you can't just "sign up".  You might
contact Anne Westine  to see if there is one
or to set about establishing one.  It's really very little trouble if
you have a mail guru at each end of the uucp<-->internet link.
