A discussion about the successes and lessons learned from Missouri’s collaborative efforts to foster digital equity across Missouri. Through strategic partnerships and innovative initiatives, the newly created Department of Economic Development’s Broadband Office, University of Missouri Extension, the Missouri State Library and Missouri Research and Education Network have spearheaded groundbreaking projects aimed at bridging the digital divide and ensuring equal access to technology and resources for all Missourians.

Federated social networks, collectively known as the "fediverse," are emerging as a promising alternative to centralized social media platforms. These networks, such as Mastodon, Threads, and BlueSky, offer a decentralized approach to online interaction. However, the shift to a decentralized model introduces new policy challenges and questions about governance, moderation, remuneration, and inclusivity.

Access to the public airwaves is an increasingly contested and critical input to everything as the world goes wireless. Spectrum auction legislation and the FCC’s expired auction authority remain stalled in large part because of a debate over the extent to which Federal frequency bands—particularly military spectrum—can be consolidated or cleared for more traditional auctions of very high-power licenses to the three big mobile carriers.

The Executive Session for June 18 has been canceled.
