It is quite useful. When wearing my attorney hat, I often have to search out
data on legal, administrative, organizational, etc., matters in various states,
and so far as I have seen, every U. S. state has web sites under the .us ccTLD
and, at least in Oregon, a lot of business that used to have to be carried out
with hard copies and snail mail can now be done on line.  There's also a lot of
Federal stuff, although many agencies, such as the Patent Office, have their
own .gov sites.  Credit should be given to the .us domain operators, and to
those making good use of that ccTLD.
