You left out this important quote:

“Young Latinos are a huge economic and political force in America today and they deserve—like every consumer—the ability to enjoy the benefits of high-definition television made by and for them,” said Michael Schwimmer, CEO of Sí TV. “Sí TV’s audience is a vibrant influence in our country, and it shouldn’t have to wait any longer for HDTV now that it’s become mainstream fare.”

Why is that important ?
Michael Schwimmer's previous job was as VP of Programming for EchoStar.
