Some GeoIP services are more accurate for me. IPv6, btw, will make the issue more difficult initially, primarily because of the use of tunneling. AlisonW Indeed. I once suggested the multicast (Class D IP addressing) might help with issuing geonotices. But I am told that multicast is not longer tied to geographic location, or location as measured by TTL (time to live) or hops in the network.

Yes has been picked but the lawyers are discussing details so unwilling to announce yet. Quite frustrating really. When announced they will be reaching out to the community.
