Trust The Plan.
Using DEFCON status to justify using the Emergency Broadcast System? Seems likely to me.
Sky also links into NDS, Haifa, DR-7, hacking and the death of Boris over the US cable hacking. NDS also hacked the OnDigital cards that were a threat to Sky at the time.
Murdoch's got form for seriously shady shit. His son James is in it up to his neck too.

NDS, according to him, was not just interested in protecting its own cards, as used for Sky, but also in cracking the secrets of the cards used by rivals.

A young German hacker, Oliver Koemmerling, now living in the tax haven of Monaco, gained a reputation in the 1990s as a man who could unlock the secrets of pay-TV smart cards.
He has now surfaced to say that he was recruited as a result by Ray Adams, the former Scotland Yard commander who was handling UK security for Murdoch's own smart card company, NDS.
Koemmerling has told BBC1's Panorama: "Adams made me a proposition … He looked at me and said 'Could you imagine working for us?' This was really after half an hour. And I said to him 'In principle yes, but what do you really want? What does that mean? What do I have to do?'"
According to the young hacker, he ended up heading a team at the NDS lab in Haifa, Israel, successfully breaking in to the codes among others of Canal Plus, the French smart card system used in Britain by ONdigital. "There was some request from the marketing department."
Ah, the old days of Blueboxing, Redboxing, Blackboxing, Roxboxing, BBSs and knowing Hayes AT command protocols inside out.
Good times.
Google Astana and look at the architecture there. It's seriously weird and this one jumped out at me.
Not much longer, hopefully. The three largest powers are working together. Trust the plan.
Comments on YT for that are comedy gold.

Is this the world's slowest icbm? Is it swimming to the USA from North Korea? :P
Kek!
