I suspect that you are right about the cause of the delay. It remains to be seen how they will implement this cookie-free opt-out check but given their usual incompetence and lack of attention to detail it's a fair bet that it doesn't work and/or is illegal and unsafe.

the best way is an account level opt-in / out where opted out traffic takes a different rout out to the net bypassing all the phorm kit due to ip subnet (but this requires help from BTW who operate the RAS servers and issue IP's
BUT, what happens if the main account holder opts in, but a subaccount holder doesnot want there traffic going via the profiler even if they are opted out?
no win me thinks for BT
