The same way Netflix does, except you pay subscriptions based on which packages you want. They could offer the same channels, but over the internet rather than via a dish. Whether you have a box, or just stream directly will depend on how they decide to offer it.
SKY already offer a subscription service that is served via satellite. Now if they ditch the satellite fine, but they still need to get that service into their IPTV box in your home and that will be connected to a broadband router despite of who the provider is wether BT TT Vodafone Virgin etc. . Now SKY have 6 million broadband customers of their own and they have amassed them without the proviso it’s required to deliver their TV package. In fact it’s their so the customers can surf the net like the rest of us on whatever we choose to do. They aren’t going to just say hey ho IPTV we go… here BT have these 6 million customers of ours that you’re already supplying FTTC and FTTP too on ya go lol you take their £30 a month instead of us.
I’m not sure it’s been thought out. Separate IPTV from Dish of course but one way or another those signals have to get into a box in the premises connected to the internet somehow wether fixed line or mobile.
