Afterwards, the IP switching ability allows you to access to geo-restricted sites. Many services restricts their contents within the country location of its visitors. This limitation is due to the broadcasting rights. Actually the international broadcasting involves to purchase the needed rights for each concerned country. Nevertheless, few companies export their services because of the price of these rights.
