The internet-delivered offering will launch later in the year, as part of Sky's strategy to monetise its expensively acquired content among people who do not want pay-TV."
That to me sounds like SKY will be offering Premiership football on a PPV basis. Couldn't BT do the same with the rights for the games they've landed? Offer the games on a linear basis on their own platform but PPV on SKY, Virgin and Freeview?

I think it means non sky customers can access games online on a game by game basis rather than a monthly subscription to Sky Go. I don't think it'll be ppv on normal TV platforms because the rights sale wasn't for ppv rights.

I didn't know anything about now TV until just now-intrigued now though, because on the face of it TiVo would appear to be just the sort of connected device to help you make the most of the service, and it would also increase potential revenue streams for Sky. What are the chances?
