If intent and actual effects of EU cookie law are anything to go by, EU Safe Harbor is going to create:

- a "value-add" or middleman opportunity on service provider side (think hosting companies differentiating themselves as compliant, like in discussed piece, or offers of "one stop EU compliance", and similar check-box ticking);
