VR is generally offered on an office by office basis due to a revision or other money saving initiative. Although we went through a preference exercise at my office a year or so ago because they thought Whistl were going to start delivering in our area. Whistl changed their plans and so VR was no longer an option – at least for the time being.

I think the next big opportunity for VR is likely to be when one wave is introduced(assuming it is). Although there may be possibilities at a local level before then, depending on circumstances.

The opposite is more likely.
