There's a few companies and organizations with their own GeoIP databases, Maxmind is the biggest, and there is a funny (and frightening) story about the risk in those assumptions: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/08/10/lawsuit-how-a-quiet-kansas-home-wound-up-with-600-million-ip-addresses-and-a-world-of-trouble/
Most companies try to do the work themselves to reduce the risk of networks faking their location.
