Actually, no, they don't. This comes straight from a guy who co-wrote the
Sprint PCS software (he is now my co-sysmonster). The FCC does not allow
compression or encryption; all civilian aerial broadcasts must be clear.
The lossy compression you describe is achieved by ratcheting back the
sampling frequency rate to concentrate on the baritone and tennor ranges,
ignoring the bass and alto ranges entirely.
It is the same thing CD-DA sampling does.
