RIRs need to be able to verify that an ISP really does have all the customers they say they have. An ISP doesn't get more address space if its not using its existing address space properly. Detailed information such as contact information about individual /48 ownership does not need to be publically available; the recently-adopted RIR policies are clear about that. Indeed, there may be country-specific laws that apply that would make that a bad idea.
