I do believe you've nailed it, Bert.  If only we could get Samsung or LG to 
offer to build a semiconductor plant in Brazil.

Uruguay, Brazil Choosing DTV Standards

According to BNAmericas.com, Uruguay plans to pick a terrestrial DTV 
standard this year. The Uruguayan equivalent of the FCC, Ursec, organized a 
technical seminar for discussions on May 17. The article said Uruguay is 
likely to pick the same standard as Brazil.

It is still unknown which standard Brazil will go with. Recent reports say 
European officials are on the verge of proposing to build a semiconductor 
plant in Brazil. The proposal would be in exchange for Brazil's adoption of 
DVB-T, Europe's DTV standard.

The Brazilian minister of development and industry is expected to attend 
talks in London with European officials and telecom companies. However, 
according to reports, Brazil broadcasters lean towards Japan's standard.

Brazil signed a non-binding agreement with Japan in April to possibly adopt 
its DTV standard. Japan's Toshiba is also assessing options to build a 
semiconductor plant in the country, according to reports.
