I don't get it.

I saw the ricochet ads all over airports. Day before
yesterday I finally gave up, and after verifying that you
could run the ricochet modems under linux went down to
the WWC booth in maiden lane, bought a novatel card and
subscribed. Went back home, took me all of 3 minutes to
be up and running, and it's close to really impressive.

I'm getting 128kbps and I'm on an "in construction"
area. There are minor few second blackouts every
fifteen minutes or so. I've had worse continuity with
verizon's ADSL, in fact I cancelled 'cause they sucked.
With my two days of ricochet, I'm happy as clams, and
I haven't even taken the laptop outside yet.

Then yesterday I heard that actually there was danger of
metricom folding and that the ricochet net might be only
working till june--- dashed over here to check the posts.

Could anyone explain this nonsense to me? I just don't
get it. This is the best net home connection I've known.
It's a great product, probably best in its class. ????

best,
