This isn?t an announcement, it?s a trial balloon ? or a request for a bribe.
Note the ?might? in the first sentence.

Argentina to follow Brazil with ISDB
TV TELCO Latam
Argentine Federal Planning Minister Julio de Vido revealed that his country
might follow the example of Brazil and adopt the Japanese digital TV
standard. It is an important possibility for Argentina to join the Japanese
standard, De Vido told an Argentine radio station.
The official announcement would be made at the end of September, after a
Japanese and a Brazilian mission goes to Buenos Aires.
On September 18, a Japanese delegation headed by Vice Minister of Home
Affairs and Communications of Japan, Akira Terasaki, will travel to
Argentina jointly with a Brazilian mission led by Brazil"s Communications
Minister Helio Costa. On that occasion, a final agreement on ISDB adoption
is expected to be reached.
According to De Vido, the election of a common standard would give a strong
momentum to the Mercosur (the economic block integrated by Brazil,
Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay). In turn, Costa added that "Argentina"s
decision to eventually adopt the Japanese standard with the Brazilian tools
is a major step for the communications across South America, as we have
advanced understandings with Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia and Venezuela.
If these markets are added, the picture shows a good scale just for any
product.
Julio De Vido underlined that the implementation of a common digital
television system "will allow us to be mutually supplied with technology
through an open process. In this sense, Argentina"s President, Cristina
Fernández de Kirchner, and her peer of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva,
agreed to hold periodical meetings to look jointly into the possibilities to
produce television sets and set top boxes. Costa invited Argentina to
participate in the Brazilian Digital TV Forum and the Japanese ISDB Forum.
