Looks like they got their money but not much else.

No extra live games on FTA
Delayed broadcasts for 2/3 of FTA games
No Fox Rugby league channel like the AFL got
no simulcasts in HD on fox of FTA games
looks like their may be no Telstra internet rights, wonder if the optus now case has scared them off.

But I guess that's the compromises they had to accept to get the money they wanted.
