1 The real impact of high-speed broadband on rural communities... Tara Morrison

2 European Commission (2009) the internet has become a basic utility for homes and businesses in the same way as electricity or water

3 Broadband availability (November 2012) Key 1 Fastest/highest 2 I 3 I 4 I 5 Slowest/lowest Ofcom (2012)

4 The Scottish Government (2007)

5 Talbot, H. & Gillespie, A. (2008) p.160 The provision of appropriate infrastructure and public Internet access points (PIAPs) to rural regions is seen as an essential pre-condition to a context-based approach at the regional or local level in order to foster economic growth, quality of life, social equity and environmental sustainability...

6 Impact of high-speed broadband Availability and access to high quality education and training Improved business sustainability, growth and new ventures Enhanced health and social welfare Sustainability of long-established and significant communities Rise in economic growth Improved well-being Mason & Rennie, 2004; LaRose et al, 2006; 2011; Galloway, 2007; Stiglitz et al, 2008; Koutroumpis, 2009; HIE, 2009; Stojmenova et al, 2012; Dini et al, 2012; ONS, 2012; Wilson & Tyedmers, 2013; Rennie & Morrison, 2013

7 Bute - Key themes Working Education Living Communication Information Sourcing Shopping Leisure and Recreation

8 Working The Inland Revenue and all that are pushing for you to do it online. A farmer had to dismiss his one worker because they were wanting him to fill out his PAYE online and he didn t even have a computer it s vital to the running of the business...it s become the way society has gone...you can t go backwards they won t allow you to... Personal Perspective

9 Education I ve done stuff in the past but one of the reasons that didn t work was because of the poor internet connection...trying to get open links with the lecturer...now going to do the ECDL [Education City is] purely voluntary but encouraged-especially the early years...reiterates what the teachers are doing.

10 Living It wasn t one of our considerations...that s how naive we were when we moved from the mainland...we just took it for granted that broadband would be readily available...for it not to have been was a huge shock to the system...and it was too late to do anything about it... and we would have been in such deep trouble as I wanted to work from home...

11 Communication Keep in contact with the folk more than you would than just texting...keep in contact with people you wouldn t normally keep in contact with...keeping in touch with friends...faraway friends and family I would be probably quite lost without it...it s my main means of communication...

12 Information sourcing [for the children] helping their education and...widen their horizons...use it as a visual tool...projects and questions...my son wanted to make a submarine, we googled a picture and got the stuff and then he made his version of a submarine but he had that as a visual reference because I missed Bolt s run one of them...i caught up with it on the BBC website

13 Shopping [use the internet for] birthday presents getting decent presents here is very difficult I m not a shopper...it s delivered to your door...try it on in your own house...controlled spending...not off the island very often I just don t have the time

14 Leisure and recreation It s opened my world up to music...i can do yoga online...on YouTube it s all there Less time working [with slow connectivity] and more time with the family can compare sites [for holidays] to get the best deals...saves money and time

15 Overall Impact of Broadband Takes Less Time It's a utility... For business...
