| I see no reason why it wouldn't be encrypted, since CDMA phones in the US
| are encrypted.
According to Qualcom's CDMA FAQ, it breaks up a conversation into TCP/IP
packets (the "digital encoding"), and each packet is sent on a different
frequency (the "spread spectrum transmission"). There is no mention of
encryption (such as 3DES) in their technology FAQ or glossary.
| THe FCC has no problem with encrypted cellular communications.
*cough*
| The FBI does their wiretaps at the cellular company offices, not over the
| air. Much simpler.
What does this have to do with anything?
