The support for most geoip websites answers my requests within a few days
at most. It's easiest if you self publish a geofeed as described at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-google-self-published-geofeeds-02 and keep
it up to date. At that point you can just point them to that feed and
they'll happily scrape the data at regular intervals (usually weekly).

Dear All,

If you are running a website that provides IP Location data; it's only
fair that you be updating your data fast enough (not more than a month) and
poll the correct information provided by the respective RIRs and more
especially if other services rely on your data to lock services.

Apart from that, how do you all get them to quickly change their records
especially for a block that you recovered from one country and moved to
another within the same RIR region/continent?
