Hillary Clinton to Give Private Email Server to Justice Department
Hillary Clinton has instructed aides to give the Justice Department the private email server she used during her tenure as Secretary of State, her campaign announced Tuesday evening. Clinton has previously resisted calls to turn over the server, but her private email set-up has been the subject of increased scrutiny recently, including a reported preliminary FBI investigation. Earlier today, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said information marked “top secret” had been found in two previously provided messages from the server, a charge Clinton’s camp denies. “She pledged to cooperate with the government’s security inquiry,” said Clinton spokesperson Nick Merrill in a statement on Tuesday, “and if there are more questions, we will continue to address them.”

Super-fast internet coming from companies you've never heard of
oming soon to a city near you: the next generation of super-speed internet access. Canada's cities, lagging behind many global metropolises — and even some tinier towns both here and abroad — are finally getting wired up for some of the fastest home internet speeds on the market — up to 1,000 megabits per second, also known as one gigabit. Bell recently launched its Gigabit Fibe service this week, with Vidéotron announcing it will have gigabit internet access for many Quebec customers as of next year. Telus is also building a "gigabit-enabled" network in Edmonton, though the actual speeds offered will be slower. But to thousands of Canadian internet users, an ultra-fast connection is old news — and the companies supplying it are far from the traditional heavyweights. Take Urbanfibre, a Vancouver-area startup that has been enrolling customers since February in B.C.'s Lower Mainland, offering gigabit internet for $69 a month. CEO John Farlinger said the company has now wired about 35 multi-unit residential buildings, and plans to be in another 50 by the end of the year. Another Vancouver startup, OneGigabit, drew attention with its launch two years ago, promising gigabit internet hookups for between $45 and $65 a month.

Sprint unveils free calls, texts to Canada and Mexico
Sprint is the latest US carrier to make it easier (and cheaper) for customers to communicate with friends and family around the world. Sprint on Monday unveiled its Open World add-on plan, which offers free calling and texting from the US to Canada and Mexico. It also gives Sprint customers free calling and texting while traveling in Canada, Mexico and more than a dozen Latin American countries, Sprint said, and includes 1GB of free data usage in some of those countries. Also part of the Open World plan, calls to the Dominican Republic and over 180 countries around the world will start at 5 cents a minute. "Sprint is making it easier for our customers to connect without roaming charges or excessive fees for calls or texts," Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure said in a statement on Monday. Historically, users have spent considerable sums of money to use cellular service in other countries, including Mexico and Canada. By providing free or nearly free offerings when traveling, carriers are trying to appeal to customers who are tired of paying massive roaming charges.
