The Internet has long since evolved away from a model where whois for domains is usefull for solving real technical problems (except for inaddr.arpa). I am also bewildered by the notion that a domain name registration is a business identifier - There are a tremendous number of registrations that have nothing whatsoever to do with 'business'.
Also, lying in your contact info under current rules is grounds for losing your registration.
Having a 'privacy proxy' adds cost and complexity, and also means that the contact info is useless for the purpose of solving technical problems, so why bother?
If it wasn't for the tm mafia, public contacts whould have gone away a long time ago, and technically oriented people could continue to concentrate on the exception, inaddr.arpa, that really *is* critical for solving technical problems.
