Customers in those random IP ranges who are paying for the service would 
beg to differ. They're paying for a service which Netflix intentionally 
is refusing to provide, based on erroneous data from a third party hired 
by Netflix.

Part of the problem is that the term "IP address" was chosen instead of 
"IP number" or "IP identifier". It leads to the false assumption that an 
"address" relates to a physical location.
