If I, as an End User network, want to inform geolocation providers of where I'm using each netblock, having them assigned to me in the whois DB with an appropriate address is one of the best ways to do that. But if I'm running a geolocation service, I can't rely on whois as the sole source of data on where an address is used. If I have other info that contradicts the whois information, I'd probably just ignore the whois data and go with the facts on the ground.
