We are creating a customer experience that gives Latin American consumers portability, affordability, and versatility,” said Jack Feldman, the Director of Latin American Business Affairs. “We’ve been in development for over a year. We now feel we are quickly approaching a launch date.”

“The Spanish speaking peoples of the world make–up one of the largest populations.” Edward D. Ciofani, CEO went on the say, “Their use of mobile devices for streaming of content is expected to grow at an extraordinary pace and WhereverTV believes we can be a major factor in what and how they stream.
