This webinar will provide an overview of the workshop sponsored by the IETF IAB, IAB Workshop on IP Address Geolocation (ipgeows), which examined how IP-based geolocation is widely used today for applications such as content delivery, compliance, and network optimization, while highlighting its inherent limitations in accuracy, reliability, and user privacy. The session will explore current industry use cases, gaps in existing geolocation mechanisms, and the architectural challenges of relying on IP addresses for location inference, as well as discuss forward-looking approaches—including alternative, privacy-preserving location signals and improved data distribution methods—that aim to better meet enterprise, regulatory, and operational needs in modern Internet environments.
