AFAIK the service is run as part of the Fedora infrastrucuture, due to
its potentially sensitive nature (every manual installation that has
network access will try to reach this API). It is not a third party provided
API.

IIRC the infra team mentioned some issues with the new geoip database
being incompatible with how the service is currently implemented,
resulting in being stuck with an outdated database until this is resolved.

But I'm sure the people actually running this will know more, so CCing the 
Fedora infra list.
