Of course we did, but it is only today that TfL have made the public
announcement. So every London local rag will now have to run their own
version of the story, and every local politician will claim his share of the
credit...
The Standard's story seems to be more thorough though:

Looks like the existing 'London Connections' style map will be tweaked a bit
and called 'World of Oyster'. Presumably all those pax who have only ever
focused on the tube map will assume a whole load of new lines have been
built...
Also note the throwaway line 'Train operators will be able to set their own
prices for journeys.' Which can be interpreted a few ways, and probably will
be...
