I don't think that it is even a suggestion. It is trivially achievable: I have a transit provider which is a US based company. They route a small slice of their IP space to us over the transit link... at their PoP in London... where I pick it up and route it to Johannesburg. All the while - geolocation is convinced those IPs reside in the hometown of my transit provider. I also know of many people who use VPNs to intentionally goelocate themselves somewhere other than their real location in order to get around certain content filtering. -- Graham Beneke
