Hello All-
I received this from my father who lives (obviously) in Mississippi-
thought you might appreciate knowing that ccTLD's seem to be developing
an entirely new arena (.md, .tv, now what? )
Dixie-Net is a smallish ISP near my families hometown of Oxford MS.

> Dixie-Net continues to grow and to add new features. The latest addition
to our growing family of products is a new set of domains (similar in
concept to the ".com" domains). These domains are Mississippi-specific. In
other words, instead of ending in ".com", then end in ".ms"!
>
> We're very excited about this product, and our ability to offer this to
our customers. Here is a copy of our Press Release:

> DIXIE-NET NEWS RELEASE-September 12, 2000
>
> Dixie-Net Communications recently entered into an agreement with AOKmail,
LLC, to obtain the rights to all of the 130 Mississippi city names with .MS
domains. Dixie-Net is proud to be the sole provider for someone to have
his/her name, city, and state in all their email addresses. For example,
someone could have [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.
>
> To welcome this new concept for e-mail addresses, Dixie-Net is offering
each of our customers 3 months free access to the new .MS addresses. Two
.MS addresses will cost each subscriber an additional $2.00 per month. Each
subscriber will be given an additional 2 (two) e-mail addresses and either
or both can be .MS addresses. At the end of the free 3 months, if you
choose to subscribe, your bill will automatically reflect a $2.00 increase.
The acceptance period will begin on September the 25th and billing will
commence on December the 25th. You must call and request the .MS addresses
before you can receive the benefits. Remember, only those that authorize
Dixie-Net to give them access to .MS addresses will be billed after December
25th. Don't wait or put off getting your .MS address. Someone else could
get your unique address before you if you don't act quickly. Use your
imagination.
>
> Remember, the .MS addresses and/or domains are accepted worldwide with all
the rights and privileges of ".COM", ".NET", and ".ORG". ".MS" works with
all local and nationwide Internet Service Providers. Mississippians are now
afforded the opportunity to have fantastic, personalized email addresses.

our customers this new and exciting addition to our portfolio. Keep looking
for more additions in the near future as we continue to grow and expand our
