Developing a minimum digital living standard for Scotland - Digital Media & Society Institute

It details the results from phase 1 on the project work and builds on a UK-wide project funded by the Nuffield Foundation and Nominet to develop a UK MDLS (Yates et al., 2024) as well as a project funded by the Welsh Government to develop a Welsh MDLS (Yates et al., 2023). Phase 2 of the project will focus on the experiences of those living below the MDLS in Scotland and further stakeholder reflections. The full project report on both phases is planned for April 2025.
