Both of these groups of customers have been cutting the cord in steady numbers, or at least defecting to rival, cheaper services.

The Same thought crossed my mind; it's still tied to an expensive pay TV system, which myself, and increasingly more people have or are moving away from.
The big thing of the announcement is the content providers allowing better multi-device viewing rights; they are the people holding up the progress that most people want, not technology, as demonstrated by the restrictions on many channels on Tivo's MRS system. If Sky have bludgeoned the content providers on that one, then well done Sky
