RIPE NCC is unwilling to fix this, unless one submits the legacy IP space to be listed under a LIR.
And I wonder how those who suggest there are no competition issues here, would explain that refusal?
I would say that the RIPE NCC does what its members tell it to do. If the Db serves up the same data to all, there in no competitive advantage or disadvantage to any geo-location provider is there? If geo-location providers want NCC members to foot the bill for finer grained accuracy, I would say that is a bit cheeky. I'm not sure that I want much finer grained geo-location (from a privacy perspective at least). -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is.
