Access to Zattoo via SwissVPN to be shut down in February
Zurich, 10 January, 2008.- Access to Zattoo's channel lineup over SwissVPN will be shut down as of February 1, 2008. Legal access to Zattoo is currently restricted to Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the UK, as Zattoo has acquired the rights to distribute channels in these countries. Some foreign users have bypassed this geopolitical restriction by accessing Zattoo over a SwissVPN account. As foreign access infringes upon the rights of Zattoo's broadcasting partners, Zattoo has decided to bar access to Zattoo over SwissVPN account.
Zattoo regrets this step and hopes to be able to offer users cross-national access to channels in the future.
