Difficult of doing something is not directly related to people's 
willingness / desire to do it.

I can guarantee you that there are Google employees who do want to have 
GeoIP (and other) information as correct as possible.  Said employees 
are grateful for such corrections.  Said employees try to process such 
corrections as expediently and efficiently as possible.

I can make this guarantee because I know / have witnessed multiple 
Google employees that have submitted and followed up on multiple GeoIP 
corrections.

I'm certain that there are still errors in Google's GeoIP data.  But I'm 
equally certain that multiple Google employees /do/ /wanna/ /improve/ 
/it/ (the GeoIP data).

How do you know that the OP's problem hasn't been resolved?

How do you know that the OP hasn't leveraged either of the suggestions 
that I provided?

Presuming the OP did leverage the suggestions that I provided, how can 
you say "no resolution" when it's been ~2 hours for a process that I 
indicated takes order of weeks?

Based on your logic, the entire email industry must actually want spam 
because all efforts to the contrary have failed to stop it.

No, the email industry does not /want/ spam.
Yes Google has problems.
No, Google's problems do not accurately reflect the desires of the 
employees.
