Well they DO know the IP location is within the USA - A friend in Australia was with an ISP onwed by a US firm and his IP address often geolocated to the USA. Similarly, IPv6 space thats been originated by a Canadian org, in Canada for 4 or 5 years is still shown as in the USA.
There are similar problems with phone numbers. Google's libphonenumber, for example, will tell you that +1 855 266 7269 is in the US. It's not, it's Canadian. It appears that for any NANP "area code" that isn't assigned to a particular place libphonenumber just says "it's in the US" instead of "it's in one of the NANP countries". They appear to have a similar bug with Russia/Kazakhstan. -- David Cantrell
