Geolocation based on... network delays?!

The article discusses the method of geolocation via latency, which is used to determine a user's location based on the time it takes to communicate with various servers. This technique is grounded in the idea that data travels through different networks, and the distance to the server impacts the response time. The author also presents examples of how this method can be applied in various applications, such as tailoring content to a user's location and optimizing performance through nearby servers. It’s important to note that geolocation via latency is beneficial when other methods, such as GPS, are unavailable or inaccurate. Lastly, the article provides a discussion about future trends in this field and potential developments in geolocation technologies.
