Well, I think this is my point. The Directive says nothing about 
'subscriber'. It talks about 'natural persons' AFAICT

Must 'subscriber' (as it appears in the regulations) be given a literal 
construction (as in the person who pays the bill) or a purposive 
construction (as in 'individual subscriber = natural person').

If the former, then as a company maybe I am free to SMS spam any child 
whose mobile phone is paid for by his or her parents.
