Thanks for the correction.

Does anyone know if Metricom bid in the recent spectrum auction in DC, and if they did, what they are going to do with the new spectrum? The license they have from an earlier purchase to use in the Autobahn technology is national, right? Does the purchase of spectrum now indicate a change in plans (increasing Autobahn's thruput?) or should it be read as preparing for a third generation system that is still a number of years out?

The exciting thing about Metricom is that once they have the radios on the poles, they can go out and replace them with a higher performance network pretty easily. Competitors who don't launch satellites will have to go thur a lot of regulatory hurdles to get their infrastructure in place.
