The current scheme does work for geolocation based systems; Akamai does it.

I wouldn't say it's a terrible fit for enterprise.  Not ideal certainly, but that's okay.  Later on we can come up with more enterprise-friendly challenges if necessary.  Enterprises have, particularly lately, shown themselves quite willing to forego bespoke solutions over what everyone else on the Internet is doing. :)
