GeoIP can be used for good. For example it can be used to set defaults for various forms and choices. Why should you have to scroll past about half the world's countries just to select yours? The most likely airport I want is the closest one. Same for store locators.
Estimating my taxes, shipping charges and delivery date are great too. Even sorting products and choices by what those in my area prefer is great too.
The geoip doesn't need to be street level accurate, but to the nearest ~30 miles can make the online experience much more pleasant and sensible.
