Zattoo and Swisscom launch cooperation
Zattoo has entered into a partnership with Swisscom: Swisscom's 100,000 VDSL customers can now receive 20 of the 70 Zattoo channels in higher picture quality. This is made possible by the higher bandwidth offered by VDSL.
The Swiss IPTV company Zattoo has entered into a partnership with Swisscom. Swisscom VDSL customers can receive the 20 most popular of the more than 70 freely available Zattoo TV channels in better picture quality (HiQ). These include the German-language channels SF1, SF2, SFinfo, ARD, ZDF, RTL, SAT1, PRO7, VOX and Eurosport, the French-language channels TSR1, TSR2, TF1, France 2, France 3 and M6 as well as the Italian-language channels TSI1, TSI2, RAI 1 and Canale 5. The offer, called Zattoo HiQ, is initially being launched as a beta version and is available immediately for over 100,000 Swisscom VDSL customers. The basic requirement is an Infinity or Bluewin TV subscription, as stated in Wednesday's press release. Due to the high bandwidths, however, the service cannot be used via WLAN.
