I though all IPs had whois information on one of these : arin (North 
America), ripe (Europe, Middle East, central asia), apnic (Asia and the 
Pacific region) lacnic (Latin America and the Carribean region) or afrinic 
(Africa).

A arin lookup will usually point you to the rigth one if arin doesn't hold 
the information. Example : a arin lookup for 193.252.122.103 will return:
