I think the days of it being voluntary will come to an end in the light of the problems which happens all to often these days.the whole system needs tougher rules. forget MAC's, line release etc. if it's all voluntary, then whatever system is used, ISP's can choose to ignore it if they so choose. as long as it's voluntary, people will have much more trouble leaving an ISP, than if there were rules that were enforced by law.
I think one method as Mel said would be to pay to migrate or as read somewhere in the thread where they should make it compulsary with large fines if the ISP fails.
When customers have paid to an ISP and are out of contract if that ISP starts to fail like in Fast 24 and V21. Then the out of contract customers should be allowed to request MAC keys and pay a fee to aquire it from BT, openreach or OFCOM. As they are out of contract they are not officialy tied to the company.
