Perhaps now is the time to ask the question...what is the difference between analog and digital? Both are data.
In the truest sense of the word, language normally vocalized is data in an analog form. If we digitize it, it becomes digital data. If we take a picture of a printed page and transmit it digitally, it is an image but the "information" carried on the page is a language. The question seems to be if the information sent as a image digitally any different than the information sent digitally without the printing/scanning process. What is different in sending a word processor file or the same file converted digitally (scanned?) to a JPEG or GIF file. Also, is a PDF file an image or digital data file. We have a problem that we REALLY don't know the definitions of "these words"/"terms" that the FCC is using. It matters little what our definition is; rather, what the FCC's definition is.

PERHAPS IF WHAT IS TRANSMITTED IS NOT FOR DIRECT HUMAN CONSUMPTION AND GRATIFICATION, THEN IT IS NOT DATA. JUST GONNA HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE AFTER ALL THE SHOUTING IS OVER.
