I don't frequent WotC's site very often. On the page link above, I saw (on the bottom left corner) a textbox with a link for users to subscribe to Polyhedron via a service that Wizards terms "Connect Service."

Does anyone subscribe to Polyhedron using this service? If so, do you like the medium? How's the content? Formatting? How long have they been making Polyhedron available as an online subscriber magazine?

Possibly related to the upcoming digital initiative(s)?

I just signed up.

Just signed up.

And after receiving an automated email, I am now confirmed. I chose the "advanced" weekly emails.

I'm relatively confident this is just a sign up to receive the periodic emails telling you what's on the D&D website currently. I don't believe this is actually Polyhedron in any way, shape, or form.

It says it's Polyhedron. I was more wondering if this was something totally new or if it's been offered for quite some time.

It's been offered for awhile. It's an email newsletter I believe.

Yes, it's just the e-mail newsletter. This is from an e-mail announcing it in June 2006:

As a result, the D&D newsletter is re-launching as the new Polyhedron, connecting with D&D and RPGA players alike. We hope that it remains a valuable tool for you to stay informed about the workings of the RPGA and its D&D organized play programs.

It's the exact same newsletter they've been sending out for a while (basically just a "what's new" list for the WOTC website), but it says "Polyhedron" at the top of the page. That's it. Nothing new or special.

I've missed this. Polyhedron was released as an RPGA electronic magazine of sorts. It even had periodic comic strips by Rich "Order of the Stick" Burlew. I think it lasted all of 5 or 6 issues before disappearing.
