Jared Danielson was having a slow day of salmon fishing off the Alaska Peninsula, the long finger of land jutting toward the Aleutian Islands. While his fishing net bobbed in the water, he had time for a quick boat tour, thanks to satellite internet. He pointed out his net, the beach and a little bag of salmon that he hoped would grow before the end of the day.
In a typical year, when salmon prices are high, a summer of hard work can net Danielson a six-figure profit.
