At  the cost  of sounding stupid,  which treaty  are we  talking about
here?   As  far  as  I could understand,  work   on the  protection of
broadcast  signals is basically  held in the SCCR,  and  the focus was
mainly  on  DRM and the  equivalent of  the US FTC-mandated "broadcast
flag".  What am I missing?

Ciao,
