The idea is absolute accountability for the data we provide. What you are doing is generosity by maintaining a good 
geofeed. We deeply appreciate your generosity. Again, we like geofeed, but we are focused on building an independent 
system which involves allowing us to host a server in your ASN.

We are not the only participant in the industry, so you are borderline forced to maintain a geofeed to help out the 
industry. But our approach is largely focused on independence and accountability. We own the supply chain from end to 
end. We want to have a great partnership with everyone who is focused on one thing: to ensure that internet users are 
not frustrated.

We envision that we are approaching a stage where we are nearly invisible to internet users and ISPs/ASNs, reminiscing 
about the days when IP geolocation used to be a headache.
