<br>
we're experimenting with geolocation tools. For the purpose of<br>
supporting the coordination of meetups and events, we want to add<br>
functionality that will make it easy to run banners in a particular<br>
region (e.g. a city and surrounding area).<br>
<br>
To do so, we need to license a database that will allow us to look up<br>
a person's presumed location based on their IP address. Before we do<br>
so, we want to gather some reports from around the world about the<br>
quality of the information provided.<br>
<br>

Thanks for any and all help,<br>
