<whether Cinecomm is tied to CDMA?>

The central issues for Cinecomm and CDMA are the same:

1. Encryption/Privacy
2. Compression/Capacity
3. Quality/Noise
4. Cost

I'll be the first to say I don't know the specs of the Cinecomm transmission system, nor really (from an engineer's viewpoint) why CDMA is better than TDMA/GSM. I do know that CDMA is the technical winner in the wireless market, and the same factors that drive wireless are present in the film distribution question. Thus, a lot of the CDMA techniques could be brought to bear on Cinecomm.

Is there any reason a separate encryption scheme (eg., PGP) couldn't be overlaid on top of CDMA in transmitting information?

I wish the Hughes/Cinecomm site had a more rigorous explanation.

Best,
John
