Brazil plans river fibre network to connect Amazon region
2015-01-26 07:55:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Brazil has presented a plan to build an underwater fibre network in the northern Amazon to bring broadband the region. The 'Conexao Norte' ('Northern Connection') will deploy 7,700km of fibre along riverbeds to connect towns in the region, according to the plan developed by the Integrated Center for Army Telematics, in partnership with defense agencies, the National Education and Research Network (RNP), Telebras, Eletrobras, Padtec and the government of Amazonas. A pilot project of 12km in the rio Negro will start in March, said the deputy head of Army IT, General Santos Guerra, who presented the project to the Minister of Communications, Ricardo Berzoini. In total, the Northern Connection, part of the National Broadband Plan, will have six optical routes and extend to the Atlantic and Pacific and neighbouring countries. The expectation is the network will serve around 7 million people in the region, as well as 29 universities currently using satellite for broadband.

Yellowstone River oil spill clean-up hindered by ice at site of pipeline break
2015-01-24 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: One week after a pipeline spilled nearly 40,000 gallons of crude oil into the Yellowstone River and contaminated a Montana citys water supply, clean-up crews have made little progress in their efforts to remove the oil from the partially frozen river. The site of the pipeline break, six miles upstream from the high-plains city of Glendive, Montana, is almost entirely capped in ice, complicating efforts to retrieve the oil and slowing the response process. The cause of the spill remains under...
