The proprietary wireless system you refer to is basically "remnant time" on the PAGE wireless network system right? This is the agreement made with PAGE middle of last year? Doesn't this ensure that even if the cable operators strip GMST information from the VBI, the data makes it to it's destination without the need for the cable signal, telephone line, or rabbit ears? Also, is this issue only applicable to cable service, since satellite subscribers will automatically receive their data via their satellite feed, and those with rabbit ears will only be able to receive since they do not have the ability to broadcast a signal (at least 99.9999% do not have that ability, hehe :o) Thanks.
