Actually they use their own network of ground-based sensors and have
better coverage than the NWS in this area (as far as I know). They *do*
have products that go well beyond what the NWS offers to the public
(like their Galileo system). They also cover countries outside the USA,
which the NWS doesn't do. Plus they hook into traffic sensor networks
and other systems which the NWS has marginal interest in (although you
will see some of these products over say their EMWIN feed).
But yes, their satellite imagery is image enhancement of data coming
from GOES8, 10 and so forth - which itself is free and unencrypted.
Don't forget the NASA and USGS satellite imaging... !
