UPDATE 20th April 2015: Coldingham is listed on the list of exchanges next for upgrading!
If you're following the national superfast broadband rollout you'll know that progress across Scotland is steadily being made. In the last few weeks, I've noticed several new green fibre cabinets popping up across the Scottish Borders, and some are even getting close to where I live! However, it was with disappointment that I read most recently that although the exchanges of Ayton and Eyemouth were being upgraded (by the end of 2014), Coldingham was not yet on the list. How could a village like Coldingham, the same size as Ayton but with a swelling tourist population in the summer, be left behind? I decided to investigate.
By effectively making a nuisance of myself, I made contact with a very helpful senior member of the Digital Scotland project team. He explained the reason.
The BT infrastructure, made up of local exchanges and larger aggregation points was the reason Coldingham was being upgraded on a different timescale to the towns and villages around it. Both Eyemouth and Ayton exchange are connected to (aggregated by) an exchange in Berwick which already has superfast equipment installed. However, Coldingham (along with Reston, Abby St Bathans and Cockburnspath) is connected to an exchange at Grantshouse - and you guessed, it doesn't have the superfast equipment installed yet. Therefore, any work to enable broadband in Coldingham is dependant on Grantshouse getting it first. The good news is that we are scheduled to receive superfast broadband, the current plan enables this in July-December 2016. At the time of writing, that's still some way off which is frustrating when our immediate neighbours are able to stream cute kitten videos so much faster.
The next question is of course whether you'll actually see an improvement in speed when the technology arrives! BT are installing new green street cabinets like this one that are closer to your property and therefore can offer faster speeds to your home. But where they are placed and how many are built is still a mystery, even to the project team! Each one can cost anywhere between 15K to 50K depending on the available land, power and access, but BT are being incentivised by the number of houses they "enable" and also by the number of houses they enable at above 24Mbps (the European standard that subjectively defines what 'superfast' means). So here's hoping you get one near to you!
The good news is that the Scottish rollout is looking at alternative technologies that still deliver superfast speeds to those who are more remote. Fibre-Optic cable all the way from the exchange to a house is known as FTTP and is being used in some cases in the Borders. This is the ultimate goal as it will enable a completely future-proof connection without the problems associated with copper cables. Secondly, they are looking at a relatively new method of delivery called Fibre to the Remote Node (FTTRN) which effectively puts a much smaller version of the green cabinet on top of a telegraph pole nearer to your house.
If you want to know more, the Digital Scotland website gives some good information and they've just updated their map tool to show more detailed information about specific locations.

March breaks global temperature record: Earth warmest

Washington: March was the 11th consecutive month a monthly global temperature record was broken, the longest such streak since record-keeping began in 1880, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has said.
"At the risk of sounding like a broken record, March set another heat record for the globe," Xinhua quoted the NOAA as saying in a statement on Tuesday.
"As Earth continues to warm and is influenced by phenomena such as El Nino, global temperature records are piling up."
For March, the average temperature across global land and ocean surfaces was 1.22 degrees Celsius above the 20th century average of 12.7 degrees Celsius, according to the NOAA monthly report.
This was not only the highest for the month of March in the 1880-2016 record, but also the highest monthly temperature departure among all months on record, surpassing the previous all-time record set last month by 0.01 degrees Celsius.
Most of the Earth's land surfaces were warmer or much warmer than average in March, said the report, with record warmth notable across eastern Brazil, most of eastern and central Africa, much of southeastern Asia, and large portions of northern and eastern Australia.
Most of northwestern Canada and Alaska, along with vast regions of northern and western Asia, observed temperatures at least three degrees Celsius above their 1981-2010 average.
The weather phenomenon called El Nino continued to weaken in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean during March, but the month globally averaged sea surface temperature remained 0.81 degrees Celsius above the 20th century monthly average, also a record high.
In total, "the six highest monthly global ocean temperature departures have all occurred in the past six months," the report said.
For the first three months in 2016, the average temperature for the globe was 1.50 degrees Celsius above the 20th-century average.
This was also the highest temperature for this period in the 1880-2016 record, surpassing the previous record set in 2015 by 0.28 degrees Celsius.

Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) moved from Vulnerable in 2001 to Endangered in 2003. All 21 species of albatross are now identified as globally under threat (compared to just three in 1996 and 16 in 2000). All are undergoing long-term declines, with significant numbers drowning after being caught accidentally on baited hooks set by longline fisheries. BirdLife International's 'Save the Albatross' campaign is trying to reduce the accidental bycatch of seabirds by encouraging longline fisheries to adopt appropriate mitigation measures.
Bulimulus ochsneri is one of the many threatened terrestrial snails from the Galapagos Islands. Listed as Critically Endangered, Bulimulus ochsneri is endemic to Santa Cruz. The range of suitable habitat for land snails on Santa Cruz Island has declined because of human activities (farming, road and house construction) and destruction or alteration by introduced species.
St Helena olive (Nesiota elliptica). Endemic to Saint Helena, this symbolic species is now sadly Extinct. The last known tree surviving in the wild died in 1994 and the only known plant still in cultivation died in November 2003. No other live material (plants, seeds or tissues) remain in local or international collections. The extinction of this plant has been attributed to habitat loss through felling for timber and to make way for plantations.
Wood's Cycad (Encephalartos woodii) is Extinct in the Wild. Only a single plant of this species was ever found. Its extinction may have been a natural event, although the final end of the wild population may have been hastened by over-exploitation for medicinal purposes by local people. In 1916 the last remaining stem was removed for cultivation in botanical gardens. There is no likelihood of ever reintroducing the species back into the wild as there are only male plants in existence, and the risk of theft would be too great.
Maui Hesperomannia (Hesperomannia arbuscula), listed as Critically Endangered, is a small shrubby tree known only from the Hawaiian Islands of Maui and Oahu.
Riverine Rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis) is assessed as Critically Endangered.
The species is found only in the central Karoo region of South Africa and the current population is estimated to be fewer than 250 breeding pairs. With ongoing habitat loss and fragmentation, and direct threats from trapping, feral cats and dogs, and hunting pressure, the population decline is not expected to stop in the near future.
Yellow-breasted Capuchin (Cebus xanthosternos) is a Critically Endangered Neotropical monkey found in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. It has a very restricted and highly fragmented range. The species is also heavily hunted as bushmeat and for use as pets.
Golden Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) is endemic to Brazil.
The species moved from Critically Endangered down to Endangered after nearly 30 years of conservation efforts resulted in a population increase. There are now estimated to be more than 1,000 individuals. There is little room for further expansion of the wild population, however, considering the extreme fragmentation and reduced forest cover within its range. Current and future conservation efforts are tackling this problem with reforestation and the establishment of habitat corridors.
Short-beaked Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis).
Although the global population is still considered to be Least Concern, the Mediterranean subpopulation of Delphinus delphis has declined by more than 50 per cent over the last 30-45 years and is assessed as Endangered. There has been a reduction in the availability of dolphin prey in the Mediterranean through a combination of environmental changes, overfishing and habitat degradation. Competition with fisheries and bycatch directly threaten the subpopulation, while high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Mediterranean dolphins, compared to levels in dolphins from other areas, may cause immune suppression and reproductive impairment.
The Northwest Pacific (Asia) gray whale stock is assessed as Critically Endangered on the basis that it is geographically distinct, and is thought to have less than 50 reproductive individuals. This subpopulation was hunted to near extinction and remains severely depleted. The potential impacts of industrial activity throughout the subpopulation's known range are poorly understood.
Mekong Giant Catfish (Pangasianodon gigas) is Critically Endangered.
This species is one of the world's largest freshwater fish, found only in the lower Mekong River Basin. The population has declined by more than 80 per cent over the last 13 years, mainly through over-exploitation and habitat loss and degradation. Increasing siltation of the river through past deforestation practices and obstruction of migratory routes through the construction of dams in the region may also have a negative impact on fish abundance in the river.

A Justice Department investigation has cleared Terrence M. Scanlon, a member of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, of charges that he had misused his office. As a result, the Senate has scheduled a vote on his confirmation as chairman of the commission for next Tuesday.
The Justice Department informed the Senate and the commission of the results of its investigation on June 17, but the department's letter has not been made public.
Mr. Scanlon's confirmation was held up last December when Senator Paul Simon, Democrat of Illinois, and Senator William Proxmire, Democrat of Wisconsin, blocked a vote on the floor of the Senate.
The charges of impropriety had been raised by Joan Claybrook, a consumer activist who is president of Public Citizen, and others. They charged that Mr. Scanlon had used his Government office to do work for an anti-abortion organization, that he had passed secret information to companies being investigated by the commission and that he had held improper meetings with a representative of the toy industry, whose products frequently come under the commission's scrutiny.
Mr. Scanlon has disputed this, asserting that his preference for negotiating with companies to seek voluntary compliance was more effective than bringing charges that frequently are contested through long court proceedings. Mr. Scanlon is a Democrat, but he has wide support among Republicans in Congress, while most of the opposition to his appointment has come from Democrats.
Ms. Claybrook said she believed the wording of the Justice Department letter meant that her allegations had been sustained and that the Senate ought to reject the nomination.
Senator Simon, reached in Champaign, Ill., said he would oppose the nomination on the floor but said he expected Mr. Scanlon to be confirmed.
Asked to comment on the Justice Department statement, Senator Simon said: ''They took it to a grand jury, and he was cleared of any indictable offense. But that was a peripheral issue.

TRAI open to altering dropped call rules
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has told the Supreme Court that it would reconsider rules imposed last year which require operators to provide financial compensation to customers for dropped calls, on the condition that cellcos instead offer customers an equal number of free calls as an alternative means of compensation. The Economic Times cites Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi as saying that Telenor already has such a policy in place, albeit with the caveat that the free calls can only be used for on-net calls. 'If the telcos agree that there will be no provisos of any kind and they are ready to give free calls for every call drop to the consumers, then we are open to looking into our regulations penalising them,' Mr Rohatgi added. The official explained that the watchdog had been left with 'no other option' but to penalise cellcos, as operators had refused every other arrangement for compensating customers, including offering free calls and re-crediting timing.
As previously reported by TeleGeography's CommsUpdate, the regulations, which came into effect from 1 January 2016, oblige providers to pay customers INR1 (USD0.015) for each dropped call to a maximum of INR3 per day. Industry bodies the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) and the Association of Unified Service Providers of India (AUSPI) challenged the rules, claiming that the TRAI does not have the authority to impose such requirements and warning that it could cost operators upwards of INR30 billion per month. After going through the lower courts, in March the matter was passed to the Supreme Court, which ordered the TRAI not to take any action against the nation's cellcos until it has ruled on the issue.
For its part the TRAI has accused the nation's cellcos of failing to invest in their networks to maintain service quality, claiming that they are 'just interested in filling their coffers.' On the other hand, mobile providers have stated that the issue is not as widespread as the TRAI has suggested and that where call drops are a problem it is not the fault of the providers, but local authorities. The cellcos complained that the arbitrary sealing of towers in certain cities, most notably Delhi, is limiting its ability to meet quality of service (QoS) standards.
