What about encrypting mobile transmissions?
Can't do that to over the air; the die has been cast, unless they want to
give up their 8-vsb transmitters, etc.  I doubt the congress critters will
change that.


Encryption of OTA signals is perfectly legal, as long as there is one program in the clear. If, however, you charge for that encrypted signal you will need to send the FCC 5% of the revenue you generate. This will be equally true for the mobile service unless the FCC changes its' rules.
