The UK filter is an "opt out" filter, and I assume that we (the IETF)

is PROBABLY also for 'consumer isp connections' mostly and not 'business

may filter on the dsl/ftth/dial network AND re-filter on the backbone-isp
network and again if there's a third tier...
so the IETF simply sidestepped by pretending to be an 'enterprise' network.
