One more social network?

NO, Zattoo is a streaming video service that is coming to Ann Arbor where it will have its research and development headquarters.

Zatto describes themselves as "Real TV on your PC."

Currently they have a subscription base of over 3 million viewers in Europe and they are expected to roll out there service here in the United States by early 2009.

 They also have over 189 channels where it is located.  You can now download the program onto your computer and watch TV from anywhere where they are located. Soon it will be up and running in the U.S. but since there is currently no channels yet in the U.S. nothing happens. However, if you click on 189 channels, you will see what is offered in Europe.

Chairman and co-founder, Sugih Jamin, is an Associate Professor of computer science at University of Michigan, with a vision to have TV where ever you go, the dream took hold and he and co-founders Beat Knecht, and Wenjie Wang have made it a reality.

Zatto has received rave reviews from TechCruch., one of the most popular blogs out there, introducing new technologies and products all the time. TechCrunch is co-edited by Michael Arrington and Erick Schonfeld. If you're not subscribing, go do it.

Meet the team from Zatto, pretty exciting guys and I can't wait for this to be launched in the United States and to have their headquaters in the U.S. in Ann Arbor.

I would love to be at a Michigan football game and watch the game on TV so you can hear all the calls and see the ball where it actually is on the yard line waiting for if it a first down or not. Or watch TV while flying, or on a long trip. "mommy when will we be there?"

Regardless, pretty exciting the R & D of Zatto is coming to Ann Arbor.

 Oh, the most important thing it is FREE !
