Just to update this, apparently there wasn't complete info in that press release.

The real "open to the public" date is just after the sunrise period,
Official Launch 12:00 noon on 31 May 2004

Well, $32USD isn't so bad, I guess. Much better than .tm's for $100/yr, mandatory 10 year commitment!

I would assume not, but I am having trouble finding out either way.
