Yes, the signals from Nimiq 1 & 2 (Bell ExpressVu's birds) spill over into the States and right into northern Mexico (at least on Nimiq 1). The U.S. government has no
rules banning Canadian satellite signals in the U.S. but Bell ExpressVu's corporate policy prohibits U.S. residents from taking out subscriptions. As for CBC on
C-band it would be legal since its FTA.
