I hope you're charging this client an nice hourly rate becuase this is
going to be a difficult, if not impossible task.  (Personally I'd say
it's pointless, but it's their money I guess).

Don't forget about "ISPs" like the ICN, U of I, and Iowa State.

And what about wireless providers like Verizon, US Cellular, etc.?

Might be worth looking into the various geolocation databases out there.
