this means you're not afraid of competition from the telcos like bell atlantic or bluetooth???

I repeat my questions.

Please list just one other device that gives comparable speed to today's Ricochet service that is wireless. Now, if you can list one, tell me how much it costs monthly for service if you use it 200 hours or more a week (not an unusual amount for a Ricochet subscriber who leaves the connection on all day long so they get their eMail right away).

Now, from the list you just gave me, list how many will give 128K wireless service within the next year.

I looked up Bell Atlantic. They offer 19.2 service at $55/month. Ricochet is 28.8 service at $30/month. Next year Ricochet will offer 128K service. This certainly doesn't seem comparable. Also, look at Bell Atlantic's coverage. This doesn't seem to cover any more population than Ricochet does.

What is "Bluetooth" to which you referred?
