Providing contact information for IP addresses is different than for domain
names. It is common these days for the domain name holders to not be useful
techincal contacts, as the names often point to virtual web hosts managed
by somebody else. For those people have contact information in whois just
results in harrassment without really being useful for people needing to
solve network problems. For their purposes they can provide any contact
information they think will be useful on their web pages.
