I'm just going by the leaked document, which showed they were aiming for 2015. The only reason Sony is ahead is because they needed to use the technology to get Remote Play working from launch, so it was higher priority.

I imagine both will charge for a separate subscription. It is looking like both services will go multiplatform anyway, so they can't really tie it to the existing ones.

Going multiplatform would be very interesting if both service decide to go that route.  I believe Sony would have an advantage there as they have a bigger catalog of games to put on the service.  I still believe Sony would have to go a lot smaller first in order to not have the service get overloaded with customers than not be able to provide enough quality to keep them.  MS would be best to leverage Azure as much as possible and provide the service to as many users as they can to get a jump on Sony.  It would be interesting if both service came out at the same time.
