The bulk access & mining of whois are at them moment topics that are
worked on and advised as well as reported on by the whois task force.
Before drawng any conclusion or venturing into new business it might be
wise to await the reaction of the name council on the task force's
recommendations.
It is my personal opinion that personal identifiable data should be
protected at all cost. Not even a reseller needs to know more about
anyone not being his customer then he knows now.
As for your own customers, you have a business relationship with them,
hence you know all you need to know, the only reason you maybe should
have access to the whois data on your own customers is to verify that
the data is still correct.
Kind regards
Abel
