Sky is paying disney in this deal, not the other way around (disney has these deals all over the world, just like Netflix does as well - see sparks broadband Netflix deal). It’s impossible for this to be a loss leader for Disney, every new subscriber is 100% margin accretive for them. Whereas sky has to pay disney for every new broadband customer that takes up this offer.
