If the contact information for that /16 has an error in it, then ARIN has a fairly well documented procedure to change contact information for a netblock and you can follow it. Geobytes seems to use ARIN data along with what is basically wild guessing to find where an IP is located. If they make a wrong guess - its an issue thats localized to them. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian ([email protected])
