Some of Brazil's top officials are doing the same thing as DVB and Japan-only devices. While Europe, Japan and the U.S. all use different standards for broadcasting high definition television, Brazil has not chosen yet.

According to the article, they are likely to choose the Japanese standard in return for significant investments to build manufacturing plants in Brazil.
