The final report of a study of the technical and economic consequences of scrambled TV services offered by direct broadcast satellite / by Philip A. Lapp Limited.: Co24-3/1-82-010E-PDF

"The likely advent of a direct broadcast satellite system in Canada, and its probable use by Pay Television and other services requiring secure transmission, has lead to the need for an investigation into the unique problems arising from the wide-spread use of a direct broadcast satellite for these services. This study investigates some of these problems and their possible solution. As well as the obvious requirement for technically feasible encoding and decoding equipment, the overall needs of the system, the economic aspects of the various types of service likely to use scrambled systems, and some of the unique Canadian policy considerations are investigated by this study"--Introduction.
