The only two folks that I was not able to reach were Yahoo! and SBCGlobal.
I've had good success reaching Yahoo based on the contact information in the Arin whois; called the number on there, and got through to a real person fairly quickly. This was a month ago. I'm told that you can also email ynoc-request at yahoo dot com (for normal NOC type queries only, I assume).
And Jared's list is excellent, but even contacting those not listed there via ARIN info, etc. yielded quick responses.
I removed our listing there because we were getting so much spam to the email address that was posted there (which can't really be spam-filtered, for obvious reasons) - that's the only place the address was posted except in the ARIN whois. After getting rid of the old POC, no problems. So a useful service, but I really wish they'd do more to at least try and trick address harvesting bots. -- "Since when is skepticism un-American?
