Sure. But they don't necessarily have to have WHOIS listings up to date in order to successfully demonstrate utilization; it is possible they provide private documentation or utilize the spreadsheet method of demonstrating utilization, without publishing details in WHOIS, and indicate they themselves serve as contact. The IP address WHOIS database is a system for identifying valid network contacts to report connectivity and operational issues to, and the contact listed in WHOIS for a network does not necessarily have to be an organization capable of identifying an individual user or customer. WHOIS is not a system for tracing IP addresses down to an individual user level, not with IPv6, not with IPv4.
