As the article also suggests, BT will need a massive advetising campaign to try and tempt people to leave their current providers. It'll be interesting to see how BT develope their strategy in the next 10 months.

I never got the sense that ESPN was a massive success. ESPN had a HD channel, ESPN America and ESPN Classic not to mention a fair selection of TV rights accross a variety of popular sports. What can BT do to make their channel more of a success?
What sports rights are available from 2013? I am aware of quite a few which are tied up beyond that. I guess ESPN, BT, Eurosport and Premier Sports would all be looking. Is there enough good stuff to go around?
