Encryption
I've seen mention that DirectBand and SPOT items uses encrypted transmissions? Can anyone confirm? Jgw 17:47, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * That is correct. See this document, which says:
 * Unique Keys and Encryption
 * Multiple types of encryption were designed into DirectBand from the very beginning and at the lowest levels. A combination of unique security keys etched into each receiver, the Extended Tiny Encryption Algorithm (XTEA), and the RSA algorithm enable several very important features, including the ability to:
 * individually address each device
 * encrypt the content that is sent over-the-air
 * activate and deactivate devices, thereby enabling subscription scenarios and anti-theft features
 * send personal content such as private messages and calendar appointments
 * verify the authenticity of content via digital signatures

How long are they committed to keep the network running?
I've read somewhere that Microsoft has committed to keep the network up and running at least until some specific date, but I don't remember what that date is. Does anyone know? NCdave (talk) 16:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
