admin-c in inetnum

One problem I've found with setting up customers as admin-c others
may have come across - they move!

I've found several have left the company, changed email address etc
Seldom are we informed of these changes. 

What is the reasoning for the requirement that the admin-c be physically
on site.  If it is to be able to 'disconnect' their network from the Net,
ie to turn off their router.  If so then their isp should be able to 
do this, either by shutting down a router interface or disabling their 
dial-up account.

I would also wager that quite a few admin-c's if contacted would 
a. Panic :)
b. Try and contact their ISP
c. Not be available, see above.

As you have probably gathered I am in favour of dropping this on-site 
requirement for the admin-c.
