What we need is a "master update" form where Akamai, Google, Maxmind, hostip.info, Geobytes, ip2location, ipgeo, etc can be notified about changes.
Perhaps we as the ISP community need to realise that we need to somehow publish this data (town or something alike) via some kind of standardized API?
hey lookie! dns TXT records!! :)
Right now I guess they use tracking cookies together with e-commerce account registration to deduct where an IP is from?
there are probably many ways to do this, sure... but if there were a standard API that was updated and accurate it might make things simpler for all involved, eh?
