There is no timeline for them to remove the block.
My suggestion is to use a recursive whois client on your own system. A
suggestion (for hints and helps), and a favourite of mine, is available
here:

Subject: NSI Whois Block
Do we have any idea when the V boys will unblock WHOIS lookups from
Tucows?
Or should I rewrite my WHOIS script to do all my .com, .net, .org lookups
through them?
I'd hate to do that. I like the *extra* info the Tucows server gives, but
if their going to block
us forever, I guess I'll have to.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. (Chuck?...)
Thanks,
Mark
