I guess I am not understanding something.
Why do we need a geofeed attribute? What problem are we trying to solve?
I understand why each block of IPs needs to be associated with a
country, so that certain language specific auto-customizations will
work. But what purpose is there to know that a /24 is in central
Amsterdam? Is the purpose to assist marketers in geo-targetted sales?
Is the purpose for network engineering (not sure what major problem
we have that needs this)?
Is the purpose to know where you are so that in the event of an
emergency (terror, tornado, etc) you can get emergency targeted
alerts? If so, then the geofeed has to be at the /32 level and since
many if not most IPs are mobile, and that is where you will get the
alert from - from your cellphone provider, I still don't quite
understand the reason for a geofeed tag.
Can someone clue me in?
Thanks,
Hank
