- The FAQ list of top-level domains, has recently been distributed
- around Usenet and is available in news.answers.
-
- Modified extract of the document:
-
- Every now-and-then there are enquiries on the net regarding
- email to a distant country. The question is often of the type
- "has that country got email access ?". The following table is a
- guide of top-level country names, showing the countries which have
- access to internet or general email services. The top-level country
- codes have been derived from the International Standards Organisation
- international standard ISO 3166, except for United Kingdom which should
- be called Great Britain (GB) instead of UK. The field GB is used mainly
- in the X.400 addressing of United Kingdom sites.
-
- Once released, this document, entitled top-level-domains , is
- archived in a number of archive sites around the world. Amongst
- them:
