Who can hear the content can be determined by the encoding. People that
don't have the "code" will not be able to hear it. Codes could be built
into the radios so that they can only decipher some broadcasts similar
to DVD players today or pay radio streams on the Internet. Besides codes
built into the radios you might have to key in more codes to hear some
broadcasts or load in a deciphering program from computer to radio
similar to pay satellite TV.

But if you have a software defined radio with the various codes
available for a download, I'm sure there will be those who will make
the effort to receive it.

Once the ability to control who can hear worldwide broadcasts is created
what would lead you to believe it will not be used?

Maybe it will be used. Is that a bad thing? XM radio does it. We've
allowed it to happen for years as SCA channels of FM stereo
broadcasts. You say this as if it were the worst thing in the world.
