When you state "opt out" do you mean that it is implemented by default and 
it is up to the end user to turn it of? If so that would seem a poor 
policy approach to me.

The cost still hits the ISP even with filtering as the bandwidth has 
already been used. Instead of cheap disk space to store the spam until 
it's downloaded by the ISP the ISP that filters implemented expensive 
servers to do the filtering.
