Or, as an alternative, we try to convince people that geoIP lookups are at best uncertain and at worst actively misleading -- and perhaps shouldn't be taken at face value. I personally think this would be a great thing. For paid services that allegedly need to know where you are geographically located, use your billing address. For advertisers it's one less bit of useful information...
