The possible impact is that today, the contact addresses of inetnums receive 
spam offers of resource transfer. After implementing this proposal, spammers 
will knock on their doors with more targeted offers, social engineering 
attacks, etc.

Even removing most of the personal data from dump files didn't prevent them 
from doing so. Publishing the company reg data will make this task easier.
