Essentially it reads that YouView as it is will no longer be sold as a product. Whilst BT and to a lesser extent TalkTalk will still be providing support, essentially its retail presence will be gone (not that it was ever big anyway).
Will be interesting to see what effect this has on BT TV in the medium to long term.
I've said this elsewhere but I suspect BT TV is on the outs. It's essentially just a vehicle for selling third party streaming services; the rebrand of BT Sport so it won't be a BT branded service any longer just reinforces this.
The days of BT Group trying to be a major player in the content space are done.
Perhaps they'll follow the path EE took and phase it out in favour of a packaged Apple TV box.
