Comcast launches Comcast Latino Web portal

Comcast announced that it has teamed up with Terra.com, one of the top portals for U.S. Hispanics, to launch a Spanish-language broadband portal, called Comcast Latino. According to a press release from Comcast, "one-third of all U.S. Hispanics use the Internet, which is 11 percent larger than the total online population of Spain, and four percent larger than the total online populations of Mexico, Argentina and Colombia combined." In January 2006, over 14 million U.S. Hispanics logged on to the Internet. The number of Comcast's Spanish-speaking customers spurred Comcast to create a Comcast Latino. Comcast Latino officially launched on March 7.
