Why are there no GeoDNS solutions anywhere in sight?

I don't think that it is even a suggestion. It is trivially achievable:

I have a transit provider which is a US based company. They route a
small slice of their IP space to us over the transit link...
at their PoP in London...
where I pick it up and route it to Johannesburg.

All the while - geolocation is convinced those IPs reside in the
hometown of my transit provider.

I also know of many people who use VPNs to intentionally goelocate
themselves somewhere other than their real location in order to get
around certain content filtering.
