Did they fail because of the immature technology or a failed business plan?
Would the more mature technology available today have made an impact on
Metricom-Ricochets ultimate success or failure?
I was a Ricochet user in the Bay Area and was quite happy with the
service even at its slow speed. They were also profitable in the Bay
Area. Unfortunately, it was during the boom and they expanded too
rapidly. Ultimately, they ran out of money. Today it could never compete
with 3G services offered by the cell carriers.
