In terms of what the department has been responsible for over the recent years of the countries they are responsible for, their section of the official government website is commonly updated with detailed announcements on the improvements and breakthroughs they have done for the UK. For example, just in 2021, the DCMS has claimed to have given "better broadband" to over half a million rural homes in what they refer to as the "UK gigabit revolution", helped connect one thousand schools to "top-of-the-class full fibre broadband", and put the West Midlands "on track to create an extra fifty-two-thousand digital tech jobs and grow by two pint seven billion pounds", just to name a few.
