this problem isn't new. I remember it at least back to forst IETF meeting in Prague. NOC team and other folks were trying to find any way how to tell GeoIP providers where is the prefix located. 

No success by now I think. They simply aren't interested as their users are not complaining to them.

I do not want to raise one of GeoIP providers, they acted more less same way. Any good advice is welcome.
