Zattoo.com- Free TV on the Internet

This website could be dangerous...especially for those stuck doing the 9-5 thing in office cubicles. In Switzerland or Denmark, that is. Zattoo provides free TV-quality video to computers with broadband access in Switzerland or Denmark. They plan to expand their usage to other countries soon. They are piloting in Britain now. Yikes. Who won"t be tempted to watch a trashy soap opera or that tennis match to pass time away during the mid-afternoon lull? Or, if you are on-the-go and you want to watch TV, do emails and drink coffee at the same time. They tout their extensive channels and easy functionality, which allows you to switch channels by just hitting the "channel up", "channel down" buttons on your remote. They also plan to continue adding channels. One downside: you cannot pause or stop the channel you are watching...it is not TiVo. You have to watch your TV show in real time.

"Before Zattoo, TV on the Internet wasn"t like TV at all. Video streams skipped, stuttered and broke up; image quality was lousy. Zattoo puts real TV on your computer. Our revolutionary technology provides the true TV-quality video delivery and smoothness everyone"s been waiting for.

Are they having success in Switzerland and Denmark? Why are they taking so long to expand to other countries in Europe, let alone America? Have they had success with advertisers like they had hoped or is that why the site can still only be seen in two countries?
