BTV Vision offers a BBC Catch Up service that isn't branded as i-player, rather BBC Replay. It uses their own UI.
BT are implementing a full i-player though.
I suspect there will be some ground given by Sky and the BBC but there's probably more to it than meets the eye anyway, there always is with Sky.
