Broadband and the creative industries in rural Scotland
Summary. Broadband connectivity is essential for rural creative professionals in Scotland. The study finds that download speeds of at least 2 megabits per second are critical for creative sector workers. Without adequate broadband access, rural creative practitioners face significant disadvantages, and communities risk losing talent to areas with better digital infrastructure, threatening rural economic viability.
