Coverage of the IP address space, and difference from the other IP databases

WorldIP differs from similar databases in about 30% of the used IP address space.
This is because they mostly use whois-data, without regard to real use of networks.
An example: the network of Kodak 192.232.64.0 - 192.232.127.255.
Other databases show the USA for the entire network, but in reality it consists of the following subnets:
192.232.64.0 - 192.232.65.255 - XX
192.232.66.0 - 192.232.66.255 - DE Stuttgart
192.232.67.0 - 192.232.67.255 - SG Singapore
192.232.68.0 - 192.232.68.255 - XX
192.232.69.0 - 192.232.69.255 - SG Singapore
192.232.70.0 - 192.232.70.255 - US Los Angeles
192.232.71.0 - 192.232.71.255 - US New York
192.232.72.0 - 192.232.77.255 - XX
192.232.78.0 - 192.232.78.255 - BE Brussels
