It doesn’t say any more than that, but whether it gets to VM as a conventional pay-tv channel or via Now TV does not concern me.

Personally, I think Sky Atlantic will be added when the Sky channels are re-negotiated by VM as the industry has matured and become less adversarial. But I don't think the press release provides definitive evidence of this, as much as I would like it to.
With Sky launching its own full IPTV service this year, could it be that VM will offer a Sky streaming service offering Sky branded on demand content and channels incl Sky Atlantic?
