That's a good point but the company could have changed its name or been
involved in a merger. You might have done business with AT&T Broadband but
not recognize Comcast; so, Comcast knows you (and probably "acquired" your
consent) but you do not know Comcast.
or to give an example that is very current:
when i purchased my Handspring Visor, i decided to let them send me their
newsletter. this is a case where i clearly consented to receive their marketing
info.
Hanspring recently merged with Palm. fortunately, they did a good job of letting
folks know, so i was not suprised when i started getting the Palm equivalent
of the old Handspring newsletter, but if i'd been asleep at the switch, or if
they'd
done a lesser job of notification, i might think think otherwise.
