In a deal announced with BSkyB, BT has negotiated on-demand rights to Premiership soccer in the U.K. for its forthcoming BT Vision IPTV/PVR/Freeview service.From 2007 to 2010, the three-year deal will allow BSkyB and BT to broadcast 242 matches after 10pm on any match day, with BT offering the near-live games to subscribers.
However, reports seem to conflict on whether BT will offer the matches on a pay-per-view basis, while Sky will make the matches available to Sky Sports subscribers at no extra cost.
All BT needs to do now is actually launch BT Vision.
