Yes - if I'm reading it right you will pay £10 for the BB, £11.99 (I think) for BT line rental, and then £5 for the SkyTalk (optional). From Q4 2006 (according to the Sky presentation), there will be a bundle that gives you line rental and SkyTalk for £14.
I'm very tempted by this - I currently pay about £80 per month for NTL 4MB, TV and Phone. If I switch to Sky I could get better TV, 16MB BB, and a better phone package for about £60. Even assuming that the 16MB quoted is optimistic, it's likely to be better than the roughly 3MB service I get now. Seems worth getting my BT phone line reactivated for.
The only potential downsides I can see are no VOD (not a huge issue), and the possibility of a less solid wireless connection (I currently have a Belkin pre-N setup that works a dream).
