'Poor man's satellite network' gets off the ground

By Jonathan Sidener, Gannett News Service

CHANDLER, Ariz. — Jerry Knoblach encounters an awkward moment every time he
begins a description of his company, Space Data.

People invariably look at him as if he's lost his mind.

Space Data wants to put disposable technology on weather balloons to support
a floating, wireless voice and data network over rural America.
