I think the distinction needs to be made between some number of {company} employees and the effectiveness of the organization.

One, two, ten, or fifty dedicated employees working on the problem doesn't make up for management that doesn't allocate appropriate resources to solve the problem. Those resources could be number of bodies, developers to create systems to make the process easier, etc.

Subject: Re: How to Fix IP GEO for google/youtube tv

Google has its internal GeoIP team.

But the data quality is not so good, but they don't wanna improve it for some reason.

If you find out, let me know the secret sauce.  I've had a ticket open
with YoutubeTV for 7 months and they can't get the GeoIP fixed for one
of my /21's that I've had for 20 years.  Every reply on my ticket from
Google is that the YoutubeTV service has major GeoIP issues, and they
don't know how to fix them.  It's been escalated to engineering for the
last 7 months with no ETA on a fix.  That is the only service for me
that is having a location problem.
