Gina Plat and Teun van der Vorm argue digital sovereignty starts with a dependency map: know suppliers, exit costs, and switching time before procurement. Open standards, portability, and open source then become practical levers.

Various think tank people, mainly hedging on whether the breakup of DSIT makes sense

Q17 Freddie van Mierlo: I want to ask about the role of DCMS. Under the previous Government, it was rumoured that there was even a proposal for it to be scrapped. It is probably fairly acceptable to say that it is one of the weaker Departments, and it is also rumoured to have a Secretary of State who is not particularly interested in it.

Emily Darlington: I don't think that's true.

Chair: Certainly, that is not the impression that I've got—

Freddie van Mierlo: It has been reported. Do you think that moving responsibility for Ofcom, digital infrastructure and other important items into that Department strengthens it, or does it risk putting those things into a silo?

Alex Thomas: I do not think DCMS has been a weaker Department in terms of the quality of its personnel or anything else—well, I will leave the political debates to you.

Most importantly, research shows that the benefits did NOT continue after the Pilot Program ended. Participants expressed gratitude for a temporary solution, but remorse over it not becoming a staple for their lives. #DataAndDonuts #GovTech #MobilityWallet

Short-term program yields short-term benefits

The mobility wallet helped people pay for transportation, allowed people to use more modes, described making more trips, and gained short-term life improvements
But, the benefits largely did not last after the pilot period ended.

“I was able to see my friends more often. I had family members who live in Santa Monica....Because now, unless they don't come get me, I'm not going.”

“I would say I don't go to visit my mom as frequently now. That would probably be the main one, like going to visit family. I just don't do it as often. It's more of when I can or if they can come by and pick me up. It's kind of that situation now.”

The UK is spending £500m on sovereign AI, but ask five people what that means and you'll get five answers. This piece untangles the five different things hiding behind the buzzword.
