Hey there's an idea, how about they ASK the users where they are 
located, instead of telling them where they are located.  Presumably a 
user will have a new billing address when they move to a new place.  
That ought to be a lot more accurate than lookup based on a static map 
of number -> location.  I don't think this is too crazy of an idea.. my 
car insurance company asks me what zip code I keep my cars in.  Netflix 
could ask people what zip code they watch video from.
