I used Ricochet for more than a year. If I understand it correctly, all users in each radio's range share the same pipe connecting to the next radio and eventually travel to their gateway to internet. It's like Ricochet built their own freeway system. You travel onto the freeway and fight the traffic that is already on the freeway. Everyone is heading to the same destiny, the hop to the internet. One can see some similiariry as Cable modem techonology that people in the same neighborhood share the same pipe. Is it scalable? Probably not but what do I know. JT
