What's the difference between MovieBeam and Muzak, which uses
vestigial bandwidth "created" by the FM-Stereo Multiplex system.

Do FM stations have to get an additional license to provide SCA
service?

Now if MovieBeam causes degradation of TV picture or sound, that would be
a serious concern.

I think it would be neat if datacasting could be used for say Windows
Update in conjunction with a low cost USB-attached receiver. That
would be a godsend to those on slow dialup or satellite connections.
