yes! and smb sez: > geolocation is often used for certain forms of access control and > policy enforcement. For example: "Regular Season Local Live Blackout: > All live, regular season games available via MLB.TV, MLB.com At Bat > 2009 and certain other MLB.com subscription services are subject to > local blackouts. Such live games will be blacked out in each > applicable Club's home television territory, regardless of whether > that Club is playing at home or away." first, i don't think the proportion of in-addr hackers is anywhere near the basic inaccuracy rate of geo-loc. so may not be of big concern. if it is of big concern, those concerned should not believe the in-addr hack. given that our westin, ashburn, and infomart equipment is often considered to be in tokyo, this would be a big win. randy
