There's loads of new hardware and software required to deliver SSRB, and although it has been well tested in labs, you can never be sure it will all work in real life. A soft launch minimises the impact if something does go wrong.

Imagine the fuss there would have been here if a big launch had been announced then it hadn't worked.

Probably nothing at the moment. They are there ready for when Sky want to use them.
