tensforme, a cautionary note re your response to Herc. Ricochet2 should perform seamlessly, as you say, in any city (and environs) in which the Ricochet2 infrastructure is rolled out. However, there are two cities, currently identified as ones in which Ricochet infrastructure exists, where it is not clear whether Ricochet2 will operate at all or only at Ricochet1 speed (28 kbps). A Ricochet1 system successfully has operated in Washington, DC and Seattle for several years. Along with some other cities which were supposed to have been lighted with Ricochet2 by the end of September, those two were not. Earlier MCOM PRs noted this distinction in performance in both cities, but more recent announcements appear to blur this fact. I believe the failure to meet the announced roll out schedule may, in some part, be responsible for the decline in price of MCOM shares.
