[AusNOG] Geocoded national address data to be made openly available (Feb 2016)

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hi all,

Thought I would just let everyone know about this.

Re:

This will be useful to ISPs for many operational reasons from billing
systems, perhaps address qualification and so on.

This matters because previously you'd have to have a subscription service
paying ~0.01c per query from people who bought access and aggregated it out.

If you're operating a business that uses physical addresses at all, you
want to get this when it's available. While Google APIs currently let you
autocomplete an address, it's not super accurate - and doesn't let you
really validate if an address is real or not.

(Thanks Ryan)
