Re: First DTA dongle market identified: Portland, OR They're awaiting a waiver from the FCC to allow security in the DTA's which can be enabled through a firmware upgrade. It's a simple ID send, on/off receipt. If approved, traps will be removed and so will "in the clear". The waiver has a strong chance of making it through for the FCC allowed significantly cheap STB's to apply for a waiver from seperable security. |

| The FCC should made a condition with that though. If Comcast want's to enable privacy mode, users must be able to purchase and OWN the DTA without a monthly equipment rental fee. |
