Yes. Although *some* geolocation providers INSIST that their location <br>
assessment is better than the owner's network. They do this by ignoring <br>
messages or form data sent by owners.<br>
<br>
Keeping the attribute in the RIPE database may show ANYONE what is the <br>
location the owner says it is the correct location. And hopefully that <br>
should be the mandatory source for this information.<br>
