Explicit permission is given by your surrogate, the device. It broadcasts a signal specifically for that purpose. This is even more clear-cut than a web server. The web server is just listening. A WAP actually broadcasts itself. It says, "hello! here I am!" A computer asks for an IP. The device gives it one.
