Still the best source I’ve seen:
https://thebrotherswisp.com/index.php/geo-and-vpn

Incudes HBO.

Does anyone have an alternative contact for Max/HBO? We’ve been battling for months with a major block marked as a VPN 
by their service. We've tried everything: contacting their support, updating our geofeed, and more.

We tried with CTIAEngineers () hbo com<mailto:CTIAEngineers () hbo com> but didn't get a response.

Thanks,

I found https://geolocatemuch.com/ to be a great resource in setting up our geofeed. Very easy to publish the feed 
through your whois info for providers that support RFC9092 as well. Otherwise you can reach out to the providers 
directly and ask them to pull your feed.

How are you publicizing your rfc8805?  I only found two organizations that pull our feed.

for what it’s worth, I have seen an almost complete drop in content sources mis-categorizing us as VPN or with the 
improper location, since implementing a geofeed (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8805/) for our prefixes. There are 
a few stragglers, but it has been a success for the most part.
