Metricom's timetables for roll out of Ricochet service to new markets have been way off the mark. It is a like MOT announcing new technology. Believe it when/if you ever see it because the source is quite suspect.

Q: What will the high-speed Ricochet service cost in the market?
A: With Ricochet 128 kbps, Metricom will no longer sell directly to the end-user or set the price in the market. Rather Ricochet
will be available through Authorized Service Providers, who will price the service. While we cannot speak for our partners, we
expect the flat monthly rate to range between $60 and $100. Market research indicates that the "sweet spot" is $75-$100.

John,

We are talking about two different systems. Mitrocom is fixed wireless. If they can build systems for schools great for them. But eventually everyone including students want to be free to go anywhere they want to go and be able to go online.

QCOM, toll gate to the wireless world (even your "plus" and "extreme" versions have to pay the toll!!!)
