History
Zattoo was first tried out with Swiss free-to-air channels coinciding with the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Starting from 4 Swiss TV channels (SF 1, SF 2, TSR 1 and TSI 1), it now offers 48 free-to-air or free-to-view TV channels in Switzerland. According to the website, other channels will be added in the future.[1] Free-to-air is a phrase used to describe television and radio broadcasts which are available without subscription and without decryption (pay-TV). ...

On October 4, 2007, Zattoo reached 1 million registered users in Europe.
Availability The service is currently restricted to Switzerland, Denmark, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom and Belgium, but is expected to expand to other European countries, (with Austria and Poland being at the top of that list[2]) then to Canada and the U.S. while adding fee-based channels to its list. It is also designed to only allow specific audiences to watch specific channels, thanks to geolocation of the IP address assigned to the user's computer (hence the restriction to a few countries for the time being). This restriction prevents, in theory, British users from watching French channels. While BBC world is available to Swiss IP addresses, it is not available to British ones. Users located outside the intended market can however circumvent this restriction by re-routing their internet traffic to an IP address located in the unrestricted zone.
