ISPs are Required to publish each individual network delegation of a /29 or more addresses Identifying the holder, other than they can Redact the personal information for individual residential customers. So an ISP Don't have to SWIP as long as they do the second thing, But Either way each individual customer network larger than the size threshold and their provided contacts are to appear in WHOIS. This is important in order to provide accurate NOC / Technical and Abuse contact to the community for the purposes Of validating legitimate technical contacts for a variety of reasons, contacting users about connectivity issues, and being able to submit abuse reports expeditiously to All Involved contacts (Abuse reports and technical issues are not to be sent Solely to a network's upstream provider). If the info. is not published then they are not fulfilling their obligations and expected conduct as a network service provider (they have not subdelegated those numbers and retain them for their own use). -- -J
