Brazilian telecom officials say they will include DRM as a platform under 
consideration during a 180-day public consultation period in establishing 
national digital radio standards.

The announcement came as a seven-member panel representing DRM made its pitch 
at the Brazilian Association of Radio and Television (ABERT) Congress in 
Brasilia last week.

The move means DRM will join Ibiquity's HD Radio and Eureka 147 DAB/DAB+ as 
candidates in providing standards for the country's future digital radio 
infrastructure.

Even though DRM's non-proprietary technology has found recent favor in both 
Russia and India, the selection process is unlikely to be a slam-dunk in South 
America, where HD Radio has enjoyed a relatively long history, particularly in 
Brazil, where more than 20 stations have participated in demonstrations and 
ongoing evaluations of IBOC digital technology.
