Didn't see MW or TVNZ chime in, or anyone offer a tech contact.Barry - agreedD-- Don Gould5 Cargill PlaceRichmondChristchurch, New ZealandMobile/Telegram: + 64 21 114 0699www.bowenvale.co.nz -------- Original message --------From: Jodi Thomson <j...@webconnect.nz> Date: 23/11/20 12:10 pm (GMT+12:00) To: nznog@list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: [nznog] Re: 103.68.122.0/24 is announced in Christchurch IMO if you're operating an ISP/RSP in New Zealand and you want your customers to access NZ based GeoIP locked services then the onus is on you to ensure the relevant providers whitelist your prefixes. Maxmind and other GeoDBs are only as accurate as the data they're fed
I've had to contact both Mediaworks & TVNZ in the past over this and found them pretty responsive it getting it sorted Cheers Jodi Quoting Pete Mundy <p...@mac.geek.nz>: It's not that there is no feasible way for an operator to determine it's an NZ prefix - it's certainly determinable via existing means and the big players already do it with these tests (such as latency) built directly into their web apps. It's merely a side effect of Mediaworks using g a poor quality technology for their geolocation. Just IMO, and I accept it's not even worth 2c :) On 23/11/2020, at 11:17 AM, Brian E Carpenter <brian.e.carpen...@gmail.com> wrote: A traceroute to an address in that /24 from Auckland ends thus: <snip> so it is indeed ~180 ms closer than Singapore. Just shows how dodgy geolocation by IP address is (and always will be).
