Clark, maybe TDMA can do this too; but why can't there be an encryption code when the movie is sent, which is only usable by the particular projection system. The code could even be changed periodically and wouldn't that prevent piracy.

Clark, if the satellite is beaming its signal (Animal House, say) at a movie theater near you, then I guess that qualifies as "point to point" communication and I take it the point of your post was that in that particular environment CDMA does not provide any particular advantage(s). Correct? However, when the topic is satellite telephony a la Globalstar, then I assume we have signals going all over cyberspace and in that case CDMA works its magic, i.e., provides greater spectral efficiency [and causes Iridium's stock price to fall off a cliff]. How am I doing? Best, Mike Doyle
