If you follow the Parent link, you can find the provider of the
company in question (unless the company is a top level provider, as

SAIC is a large government contractor in southern cal, not an ISP.

You're right, didn't mean to imply they were an ISP. Used to be you
could follow the Parent link back through all the ISPs supplying a
company's internet connection until you reached one of the major
backbone providers, such as, Sprint, MCI, UUNet, etc. Now IP ranges
may be directly allocated by ARIN, APNIC, RIPE, etc, so the provider
of a company internet connection is harder to track down.
