Re: Google IP Geolocation

[Phil Sykes <phil () atdot at>]

Hi Hank,

I reported it against the /15 you supplied, since I agree you shouldn't
have to!

Internal bug reference for Google is bug 186090498.
If others have gone via Google's NOC, mentioning that reference to the NOC
may help get your "me too" on the list, but if it is a systemic .IL -> .IS
hopefully we can clean them all up without needing to be told about each
one.

thanks,
