Just for curiosity, where is this information taken from ? The Whois database ? But
Brian's address is in San Diego, not in Chicago...
Is there an easy way to change geo-location information for a specific AMPR subnet ?
There is no one true source. Thats one of the reasons the information is not terribly
accurate.
One of the big providers of geolocation data however is MaxMind - probably partially
because you can get much of the info for free. You can lookup IPs on their website and
submit corrections (though I think there is some verification required so I don’t know if
they accept all updates).
Other people have their own databases though so even if MaxMind update theirs it’s no
guarantee a particular service will notice.
