We will be mapping more mobile (cellular) networks to a state (subdivision) rather than a city for Telstra Internet IPs in Australia, as well as other mobile networks in France and other countries. This change will better reflect the traffic distribution of these IP addresses across a state.
These changes will be implemented incrementally. Some IP addresses will reflect this change on February 2, 2021, and additional IP addresses will be updated on February 16, 2021.

We have released a free IP geolocation API, which allows users to query our GeoLite2 data. See our blog for
an overview of the GeoLite2 web service. You can learn how to integrate the GeoLite2 web service in our
Getting Started with GeoLite2 guide.
