Is this information from the registry WHOIS or the registrar WHOIS
published through Port 43?

The reason for my question is that I understand that some registrars
will apply rate-limits on Port 43 with respect to certain blacklisted IP
addresses, and will only publish a truncated WHOIS record (similar to
this) when they receive inquiries from an IP address that they believe
is abusing Port 43.   I don't know if Tucows uses this method with
respect to Port 43 (perhaps Ross can clarify).   

This could be relevant to our analysis as we explore, per Ross'
suggestion, the technical possibilities related to Port 43,that could be
utilized in a tiered access approach. 

I note that if I go to the Tucows website and do a WHOIS lookup on
bankofamerica.com, I get the complete WHOIS record (see below).
