Sky have announced today that to attract non contract customers you will be able to get Sky Sports on your smartphone for £9.99 per day!
Still trying to work out who will benefit from this.
Sky obviously but also anyone who wants access to Sky Sports through Now TV etc for a specific event. The price has to be high enough to stop Sky Sports subscribers simply changing to subscribing on a daily basis when they need it.
Indeed, it's a good idea for those that might want to watch 1 or 2 things a year, maybe the Manchester Derby match between Utd & City, or 1 of the many London Derby's, at £10 for the day, they can watch without having to spend the full £500 (?) minimum for the year?
In fact, you could watch Super Sunday for 20 weeks of the year for £200, still a cheaper option.
People have often asked "can i pay for just the 1 game", well, here it is, with the rest of the days showing as well.
I could see the appeal of this if you could watch via your telly- ie entertainment/entertainment extra customers could upgrade for a single day- or via youview or Roku
But a tenner to squint at a smartphone whilst using up your data package?

No ta
If you already had Entertainment, I couldn't see anyone adding Sky Sports for £10 for a day, it's only £21 for the month, ok, twice the price, but 28/29/30/31 times the days.

As per the post above mine, it is all the Sky Sports channels.
£26.50 is Entertainment Extra, so £21 on top is £47.50 without movies, and as Sky World is only £55.50(?), that is only a difference of £8 they would charge for movies as well, so yes, that includes all the sports.
So i couldn't see anyone wanting to pay £10 for 1 days access if they already had a Sky subscription with STB, unless you really only wanted to spend £10 and there would be absolutely nothing else you would be interested in for the month, but to me, someone would just pay the £21 for the month.
I think this is a good idea, I can't see many people taking up this offer but It's good there is choice. I assume by smart phone you mean Sky Go as a whole, and I also assume this includes the F1 channel which would mean that you can watch all the races this year for £190.

Or £90/£100, as 10 races are live on the BBC, if you wanted it purely to watch all the races live.
I dont have Sky sports but do like to watch the odd tennis match that I cant get elsewhere.
I would pay occasionally on this basis, although £5 for a game or match seems more appropriate.

£300pm for Sky Sports!
Mind you that's not too bad at least it £10.00 a day not per hour then customers would have to pay just £7,300.00 a month

Is the £21 for all channels, or just SS1 though?
That gets you Sky Sports 1-4, F1 and News
