- OK, you got me...a little
-
I was just having a little fun. But Digital Envoy just created a technique using publicly available information to determine the closest city to an ip address and got a patent for it. If they 'own' the ability to do this, there are a lot of other companies in deep doodoo. After all, the people who really know where an allocated address is being used are the ones who allocated it. Otherwise, interpreting a traceroute is probably not patentable.
Google probably licensed this technology because it was already done and probably very efficient given one of Google's priorities of fast response time. Maybe avoiding patent problems played into it too. Anyway, lawyers 1, Google 0, Digital Envoy 0. - Posted by: Taz_z Posted on: 03/30/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
