how to fix incorrect GeoIP data?

Fri May 1 17:23:43 UTC 2009

Thanks for that link, it must be relatively new, cause I couldn't find that

What we need is a "master update" form where Akamai, Google, Maxmind,
hostip.info, Geobytes, ip2location, ipgeo, etc can be notified about
changes.

Google has been contacted and they said it will take a month for stuff 
to update.  The customer has also updated hostip.info.
