Even if VM and Sky go fully cloud based, I'd expect they would have a 'preferred' access option that they would promote so they retain some control over the experience to improve any fault resolution.

Absolutely Ben you may very well be correct I'm not stating as fact , my opinion is pay TV will change and potentially offer you access to your content across a multitude of devices. I believe multiroom may eventually become a thing of the past with pay TV operators charging on number of devices for example a standard sub includes 2 devices , with further options for 4,6,8 etc.
Much of the consumer feedback I've read shows people want to access their content on their own devices as opposed to the STB the pay TV operator forces on you.
With cloud based services it allows so much more flexibility like bookmarking , profiles etc.
This is all speculation on my behalf , I guess time will tell how the future pans out.
