Flagged -- this is a highly misleading title. People have been given a year to come into compliance with the new regulations.

Communications minister Ed Vaizey said that "...it will take some time for workable technical solutions to be developed, evaluated and rolled out so we have decided that a phased in approach is right."

The directive is in force now. The government has simply said they won't enforce it for a year. Hence the use of the word "technically" in the title. The news article you link to is also linked to in the original post.
