For our Canadian friends...

Fido last week launched a Canadian first for the wireless industry with its new service, Fido Uno.

Fido UNO works by connecting calls from a specially-enabled handset to a high-speed Internet connection when at home and through the Fido network when on the go. Now you can have the freedom to talk as much as you want on your Fido phone while at home without using up your wireless plan minutes and all the benefits of a mobile when you’re not.

On December 16-20th, 2008 the Snowball Express, an annual event that brings together children and surviving spouses of military personnel who have been killed while on active military duty since 9/11, hosted 2000 children and surviving spouses in Southern California, from all across America, for an all-expense paid holiday gathering.

American Airlines was the official transportation provider for the families, helping to create a support network for the families of our fallen soldiers.

You can get updated on this way cool even on the Snowball Express blog and find our more on the official Snowball Express site.
