There are Switch and Transmission upgrades required. Plus changes to the billing system as VM wish to charge for this feature.

Soft Switches will be rolled out, however do not expect changes to the situation overnight.

Is Virgin Media intending to do anything about this problem?

What is involved in providing CLI and what are the main technical obstacles ( part from the vast expense) to doing that?
I do have access to a list of areas that do not support Cli.

I'm not party to what VM intend to do at the moment. That's in the hands of others, although a lot of the equipment that requires upgrading is now obsolete.
