I personally believe it's rather bad form to announce this stuff is coming in the form of an all singing, all dancing press release in June 2010 and for no further update to come since then. Either it's an error in the initial press release, or something has been renegotiated since them, but a bit more openness would be nice. IIRC, the only suggestion of Red Button content in 2011 came from one line in a Sky official website article.
IIRC the OFCOM agreement meant that Sky had to offer it, and I believe that the delay is due to technical issues because of platform incompatabilities, rather than any negotiation issues.
