I don't know if this is going to pan out or not, but TUAW reader Skaro (exterminate!) reports that he's been accepted into the iPhone developer program. Not a big deal until you realize that he lives in the UK and paid up his £59 fees.
If true, this is huge. Many important 3rd party Apple developers are located throughout the world. Are you an out-of-States developer who's gotten your acceptance email? Please let us know.

I’m in switzerland and I got my confirmation e-mail yesterday. I’ve accepted the license but I can’t get to the payment process; there’s an error saying access to the desired store is currently not possible…

I just tried again using Safari instead of Firefox: seems to work now.

Yes, I'm UK-based, got the acceptance email today and was then able to purchase the 'iPhone Developer Program Standard' through the Apple store.

I also had mine in the UK, and paid my dues... I must admit I'm not sure what happens next? I've not had anything extra to download?

This is very frustrating. I'm in NY, been a Mac developer for decades, can't get in, I have an app that uses the accelerometer, can't test it, yet would like to enter it in the design contest whose deadline is May 12. Very, very frustrating.

I also received an email today to announce I was enrolled in the program
I paid the iPhone Developer Program Standard and got a confirmation by email
and... nothing else.
I don't find where to download firmware and keys. I logged everywhere: apple store (my account and downloads), apple developer connection site (adc), iphone site.
nothing new.

Same story here...
We seem to be victims of the weekend.
I don't expect any keys, firmware beta or anything else before Monday... which is kind of annoying.

Well, Skaro was destroyed in "Remembrance of the Daleks" (Dalek-killing baseball bat ftw!), but still good :)

It seems that they have extended the program officially - at least the text on the iphone dev site no longer mentions US:
"Please note, the iPhone Developer Program will initially be available to a limited number of developers and will expand in the coming months."
Only a few days ago it read "developers in the US and will expand to other countries in the coming months.". I really remember as I revisited the page quite often in hope of any change.
However, I still did not get further than receiving an enrollment number...
