That is both unfair and wrong.

I know for a fact that they do want their internal GeoIP to be as 
accurate as possible and that they do want to improve the inaccuracies 
if and when possible.

I have personally submitted a handful of GeoIP changes through channels. 
 It does take a wile O(weeks) to complete.  But it /does/ complete.

If you have a GGC node, you can reach out to the GGC operations team for 
help resolving GeoIP issues.  Ostensibly the GGC operations team focuses 
on GGC related issues.  But they should be able to document the issue 
and send it to proper internal teams anyway.

I would assume that Google's NOC can also re-route issues as necessary.

I believe that saying "they don't wanna improve" as a fact, vs an 
opinion, is disingenuous and somewhat rude.
