“Where are you?” is not an easy question to answer on the Internet. The
telephone system’s address plan embedded a certain amount of physical
location information in the fixed-line network, and a full E.164 telephone
number indicated your location in terms of your country and your area
within that country. The Internet did not adopt a geographic address plan,
which means that you will need a lot of additional information to map an IP
address to a location at the country or city level."
All the best,
Frank
