Would someone from hulu.com please contact me offlist?

Alternatively, if anyone has contact details for a vaguely clueful person there, that would be appreciated.

We had a new range allocated to us by ARIN around 6 months ago for our US business, and hulu are claiming it's non-us. Our guess is that it's a canned response by first-line support.

Also, does anyone happen to know which geolocation databases hulu use?

Thanks, Chris

Did you Swip the block?

https://www.arin.net/resources/request/reassignments.html

Pretty certain we've done this. It wasn't myself that did it, but if I'm reading that page correctly, it updates the whois database, and that returns our US company details. Also, ip2location.com and ipinfodb.com both report a selection of IP's in the range to be US IP's. Thanks, Chris

A few others I would check: - Akamai (you can contact them via their web page, but there are also people on this listserv that can check, too) - Google (if their search pages comes up in American English, you're good to go, otherwise there's info in their help that will let you fill out a form) - MaxMind (there's a contact form on their web page)

Contact me offline if you want a list of (more minor) GeoIP sites I have bookmarked.

Thanks for that Frank. I've had contacts from Akamai and a couple of others off-list now. I've also checked MaxMind - their database appears to be up to date as well. I can't check Google at this second, as I'm based in the UK - I'll be setting something up for such tests tonight or tomorrow, but I seem to remember that we've previously spoken to them about it. Thanks, Chris
