I had to chuckle when Brazil  suggested that they were a candidate 
for a digital broadcast system that could deliver HDTV to their 
masses.

I'm sure you can sell a bunch of HD displays, maybe even a few 
receivers in Rio, but the masses are not exactly ready for the HDTV 
viewing experience...

Where is the pragmatism in these discussions. Even here in the 
opulent U.S. HDTV is still a niche market...
