Space Florida
http://www.spaceflorida.gov

Space Florida is an Independent Special District of the State of Florida, created by Chapter 331, Part II, Florida Statutes, for the purposes of fostering the growth and development of a sustainable and world-leading space industry in Florida.

As the State of Florida's aerospace economic development agency, Space Florida fosters bold economic development activities to expand domestic and international opportunities that support talent development, enhance infrastructure and support governments and organizations in improving the state's competitive business climate. Space Florida does this by supporting, assisting, facilitating and/or consulting on space industry-related needs for:

• Attracting, retaining, and expanding aerospace-related businesses
• Arranging financial incentives and providing start-up and relocation support
• Providing financial and business consulting, including consulting on business formation, relocation and venture development
• Development of targeted infrastructure
• Workforce training and placement
• Research and Development
• STEM-related innovative educational programs, summits and conferences

Check out the 2020 Vision, particularly the Civil Protection and Emergency Management link where UAVs are discussed. I'd be very surprised if Clark and Estrella weren't all over this. Sanswire is just the kind of company the Space Florida program is looking to assist in the region.

"Sanswire to Take Active Role in "Florida Near Space Coast Initiative"

Really. That PR was from 18 months ago. Active role? MMmmmmm....where's the "activity"? I don't see ONE subsequent PR or "activity" since this came out.

"Sanswire Corp announced that it intends to work with other Florida-based technology providers on the "Florida Near Space Coast Initiative..."

Where are the "other Florida-based technology partners" that Leinwand spoke of? Why haven't we heard about any of these other "providers" taking advantage of this "Near Space Initiative"??

<YAWN>....old news. You know as well as I....this was a PR designed to pump up SNSR's shareprice at the time.

It didn't work very well then....and it still isn't.
