One of the guys here just got a call from Qwest asking the exact same thing. (Phone-spam this time, instead..).
Am I the only person here who doesn't think it's very intrusive of someone to send an email asking "who is your network provider?"
If it was sent FROM one person TO one person, it fails one of the primary tests of whether an e-mail is spam. (bulk)
If it was mass-mailed to a bunch of people who didn't ask for it, it is spam... if it was mailed to one person, it isn't spam even if that one person never requested it in the first place.
Numerous noc addresses across the net have received it. Maybe not all at once, as part of one large mailing, but it is most definitely a sustained effort.
