No infrormation has been announced yet regarding partner accounts such as the
one you have with Verizon. You may want to contact Verizon and ask. I believe
that they will probably suggest that you switch to Windows Live programs and
services.

I realise that the MSN 10 Regional updates are still a "work in progress" to
enable international users to upgrade to version 10, but is there an expected
date for the United Kingdom release ?

In my experience, Microsoft doesn't publish planned release dates until they are
absolutely certain that there will not be a change.
Nothing has been announced yet.
