As of this morning, ARIN informed Cogent and the NANOG community via it's mailing list that this action has been taken due to Cogent's use of Whois data to solicit customers.
<opinion> I think that while 6 months of Whois suspension is a bit harsh, I glad to see some action taken as I've been solicited on more than one occasion by Cogent reps, the first time was within weeks of registration. Unfortunately I'm not sure they'll care since they don't even seem worried about being able to reach every prefix on the internet. <\opinion>
