One interesting aspect of this is that search engine spiders will 
find different data depending on the IP address location presented by 
the spidering host.  Google and the other search engines work hard to 
avoid getting spammed by sites using "cloaking" (showing one thing to 
spiders and another to browsers).  They would have to use the 
technology to show the same geo-located page versions to the users, 
and I doubt they'll be interested.  Because search is so important, 
this may well go nowhere.  I hope.
