[Starlink] Info on IP country ranges

[Noel Butler]

I run an open access usenet server, but only for those within my CC, so 
access is by IP based on our CC allocations from APNIC.

Because IPv4 exhaustion this changes sometimes with buying allocations 
from other regions, and if they get denied access I encourage them to 
let us know so we can keep ACL's updated, I've had a request from a 
starlink user who claims they are here, but traceroute shows them in .DE

tracing some 217.foo.ad.dr

undefined.hostname.localhost (206.224.65.201) 274.663 ms 273.073 ms

As it is our policy to not collect any user info or issue user/pass's 
and  only allow access by IP, I'm hoping someone here knows if they are 
full of it, or does starlink really assign addresses from anywhere? That 
one hardly makes sense for user experience, or maybe starlink has so few 
users in this country they haven't bothered changing anything yet?
