Abstract
The IAB IP Address Geolocation Workshop examined how IP-based geolocation is widely used across content delivery, compliance, and network optimization, despite well-known limitations in accuracy, transparency, and privacy. This presentation summarizes key findings from the workshop, including gaps in current practices, architectural implications of relying on IP-derived location, and emerging directions such as alternative signals and improved data distribution mechanisms.
