"Most people would include both Free-To-Air (unencrypted) and Subscription
(encrypted, i.e. USDTV) transmissions as being 'Broadcasting'."-Richard
Hollandsworth
Traditionally, "broadcasting" was defined as "transmit for public and
general use." Perhaps that definition is changing, but I don't think it
can be assumed that most people define it as both free and subscription
based services. DBS would be considered "broadcast" under that definition,
as could a lot of other transmissions. If we do re-define it, what word do
we use for a transmission for public or general use that could be received
and used openly by anyone, without subscription, encrypted or not? Or will
there be no such thing in the near future?
