I wonder why they filter by IPs anyways?
The only reason I can guess is geolocation to ensure they have a frequency

However my experience has been that other providers use a GPS for this
(and unfortunately, require a GPS lock to operate). Great for a house with
a window, not so good for the basement of a building.
