'Better broadband connections' for Lothians
Tuesday 15th April 2008, by Daniel King
Those currently unable to access broadband in the Lothians, as they live too far from the exchange, should be connected to high-speed internet services by the end of the year, reports the Scotsman.
It was revealed by the newspaper that those living in areas such as Seafield and Mid Calder would be able to make use of broadband, as part of the Scottish government's Broadband for Scotland scheme which aims to connect remote areas.
West Lothian councillor Martyn Day explained: "Not being able to access broadband can be frustrating and in this day and age it is necessary for both personal and work-related reasons."
He added that the problem of broadband connections could affect urban and suburban areas, as well as remote rural regions, which may be miles from the nearest telephone exchange.
The Scottish government announced in February that it had recorded 3,000 eligible requests for broadband connection throughout the country, which shows the increasing demand for broadband in the country.
