You'll pay more because Ricochet isn't available in your area. Cellular is widespread and ready to go NOW.

Cellular is not cost effective nor practical for datacomm. It is NOT ready to go.

Other providers will get their first. Metricom will have coverage in a given area before the Cellular guys get it. They are completely focused on selling voice minutes, and that is lucurative enough that they will not pursue datacomm.
