BSkyB is planning to launch a range of new products via Easynet before the year is out.

Speaking on Tuesday, the firm's head of investor relations, Andrew Griffiths, briefed analysts on what to expect from Sky's triple-play offering.

A range of products will be launched, including broadband access, VOD, VOIP and CPS telephony services. Timescales and pricing are unclear, although it is thought that the VOD element will launch early in 2007.

Easynet's footprint currently covers 20% of UK households but will rise to 50% by December and 70% by the end of 2007.
