It does seem uk isp's have their heads stuck in the sand on ipv6 and simply refuse to invest.
Will VM do the same, wait until their ipv4 is critical then announce some kind of idea to extend ipv4 rather than go dual stack.

I don't think you understand, it's going to be necessary for all providers to do some kind of NAT eventually. Even if the world switched over to IPv6, there's still millions of pieces of software that rely on an IPv4 address - such as the PS3 or the 360. They can't do IPv6. Plusnet trailing this isn't a sign of failure, Virgin and Sky will have to trial it as well at some point, even if they deploy IPv6.
