"To replicate a network with these numbers of pops, in a competing technology, would carry an aggregate cost north of 100 billion dollars. Therefore, Metricom/Ricochet has significant futuristic value as a wireless mobile internet access provider. The cost of spectrum and the hardware needed to create a new network will only escalate in the future. Therefore, an abandonment of Metricom/Ricochet due to unresolved forward funding seems most unlikely and extremely shortsighted. The two significant owners in Metricom/Ricochet, Vulcan Ventures and Worldcom, know the futuristic value of an operating wireless data network perhaps better than anyone. And it must be further noted, Metricom/Ricochet is the only wireless theme offering that Worldcom has in its arsenal." biz.yahoo.com
