“As T-Mobile continues to shake up the wireless industry, our focus on the growing U.S. Hispanic community has never wavered,” said Peter DeLuca, Senior Vice President of Brand and Advertising at T-Mobile. “Sponsoring Digital Trends en Español is a great opportunity for the Un-carrier, as we value the importance and influence of the tech-savvy Hispanic market. It’s great that Digital Trends is making their significant resource for consumer electronics and mobile industry news accessible to the Spanish-dominant customer.”
