FCC meeting thursday
You get HDTV even if you don't want it. But you also get: Digital Radio Broadcast Flag 'Conceivable' So said FCC Media Bureau Chief Ken Ferree after the commission yesterday launched a proceeding that proposes a digital copy protection mechanism to protect unauthorized reproduction of DTV transmissions. Ferree says if a signal can be embedded in a TV signal, he doesn't see why the same thing couldn't be done with a radio signal. Indeed, listed among the questions the FCC is opening up for comment is whether digital broadcast protection will have an effect on the development of new consumer technologies, a label under which in-band, on-channel digital radio could fall.
