[ripe-db-requirements-tf] Geolocation in the RIPE database

Hi all,

Here are some statistics for geolocation in the RIPE database. 25% of respondents in the recent survey use the RUPE database for geolocation.

Background reading on geolocation in the RIPE database:

* There are 24,408 inetnum objects with a geoloc: attribute (with 7,731 distinct values). 25 different organisations are responsible for 51% of inetnums with a geoloc: attribute.

* There are 516,354 inet6num objects with a geoloc: attribute (with 1,045 distinct values). 1 single organisation is responsible for 99% of inet6nums with a geoloc: attribute.
	* 127,105 occurrences of "51.507351 -0.127758" (London)
	* 130,175 occurrences of "40.712784 -74.005941" (New York)
	* 255,998 occurrences of "34.052235 -118.243683" (Los Angeles)

There is no special query flag for geolocation - the geoloc: attribute will be included if present in any matching inetnum or inet6num.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like more details.
