This was on MacNN later:

Following yesterday's report on the WWDC Satellite uplink, Globecast
was unable to confirm whether the signal would be available "in the
clear" (i.e., available to the general public), as other readers
indicated that the signal may be encrypted and only available to
specificallly invited parties.

In any event, the signal will be available via on-campus cable on
channel 29 at 1pm.
