I have not heard of the October 1 date. As far as I can see
http://spf.pobox.com does not mention this, and none of the
RFC drafts do either.
Hmmm. Followed a bunch of the links, and found:

"Last week, Microsoft announced it will check for SPF records
in all e-mail coming into its Hotmail service, beginning
October 1, 2004."
That's probably it.
