  • A New Level to Pay TV Netflix Integration January 2019 Sky Ultimate on Demand Introduction
    Sky Ultimate On Demand A new level to Pay TV Netflix Integration January 2019 Sky Ultimate On Demand Introduction In November 2018 Sky joined the long list of Pay TV operators that offer Netflix to their subscribers. With Movistar also launching at the end of 2018 in Spain, and OSN (Middle East) set for launching in 2019 we may have reached a tipping point with operators approach to Netflix. Operators who have been strong in building their own channels and services are now willing to fully embrace the importance of Netflix to their customers, and the belief that they are not competing for subscribers outweighs any issues over their competition for content and customer revenue. “We want Sky Q to be the number one destination for TV fans. Partnering with Netflix means we will have all the best TV in one great value pack, making it even easier for you to watch all of your favourite shows.” Stephen van Rooyen Chief Executive, Sky UK & Ireland Insight - Sky Ultimate On Demand January 2019 2 Sky Ultimate On Demand Netflix and Pay TV Operators Netflix’s first Pay TV integrations were in 2013 with TiVo boxes offered by Virgin Media (UK) and Com Hem (Sweden). Virgin were the first to add Netflix to their set-top-box in November 2013, and more have followed as Netflix’s market position has grown and operators realised they can work together. Operators have been adding Netflix to their own services to varying degrees, with variations to the user experience, billing, UHD availability and the pricing proposition.

  • Analysys Mason Document
    Sky launches a mobile service in the UK in anticipation of increased competition in convergence December 2016 Heenu Nihalani and Kerem Arsal Sky is the newest entrant to the UK mobile market, and the forthcoming launch of its ‘Sky Mobile’ service brings an alternative fixed–mobile proposition to a relatively nascent convergence market. As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), it will use O2’s network, and offer 12-month contracts in loose bundles to its fixed subscribers, as well as separately to non-subscribers at a higher price point. Sky reports that over 46 000 people have pre-registered for Sky Mobile, which will be launched in mid-December. This article examines Sky Mobile’s pricing and positioning in more detail, and discusses the effects that this service may have on the UK’s mobile and FMC markets. Sky is clearly targeting its mobile proposition at its current customer base Sky is entering the market with relatively cautious pricing, without aggressive discounting, and with continued focus on premium services. It is a convincing offer for its fixed broadband subscribers, but less so for non- subscribers. The service is positioned to compete in a marketplace increasingly dominated by converged offers following BT’s acquisition of EE in August 2016. Pricing for Sky’s fixed customers is competitive. Prices are tiered around data allowances: GBP10 per month for 1GB, GBP15 for 3GB, and GBP20 for 5GB; each comes with unlimited voice and SMS. The pricing closely matches similar plans from Virgin Media and Vodafone, while BT’s pricing is slightly lower for its FMC bundle subscribers.
