"A body set up to get the UK moving to the net's new addressing system has been shut down in protest at official indifference to its work.
6UK was set up to advise ISPs and firms about the move from version 4 of the addressing scheme to version 6.
But 6UK has been wound up after its board realised its work was futile without official backing.
The indifference means the UK is among the nations that have done the least to move to V6, it said."
