AFAIK, InterNIC only cover .aero, .arpa, .biz, .com, .coop, .edu, .info,
..int, .museum, .net, and .org and even then, the .com and .net details are
from Verisign. Any country code based TLD data such as .uk or .us to name
but two is held by the relevant group.. For instance .uk is managed by
Nominet in the UK.

Also again, AFAIK the Whois search only allows domains, registrars and
nameservers to be used as search criteria, not *Registrant* details.
Certainly, the .uk management allows you to add but withhold from public
view all address details of the registrant, only showing technical and
billing details where necessary to protect against attempted domain transfer
scams like the DRoA where the registrants have been contacted by a third
party (DRoA) to "renew" their domain or "lose it" when in actual fact, they
(DRoA) are not the registrar in the first place.

UK Trading standards has had the DRoA over their marketing practices many
times...
