You can probably get a *hint* about my location from an IP lookup. You
can definitely not be certain my location - since you don't know if the
RIR info is correct, you don't know about any tunnels I might use, etc.

For instance - if I put the address of my mail server into Geo IP Tool
(one of several such services),

     http://www.geoiptool.com/en/?IP=195.1.209.33

it tells me the correct *country* for the IP. However, both the region
and the city are wrong. 

How valuable is location with contry granularity?
