Thanks for that link, it must be relatively new, cause I couldn't find that

What we need is a "master update" form where Akamai, Google, Maxmind,
hostip.info, Geobytes, ip2location, ipgeo, etc can be notified about
changes.

Google has been contacted and they said it will take a month for stuff
to update. The customer has also updated hostip.info.
