Aerie Networks to Reactivate Ricochet Service?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-up-in-the-air dept.

JimDog writes: "Aerie Networks is apparently buying the assets and IP of Metricom's Ricochet service and plans to reactivate it in at least some of the former coverage areas. A more detailed press release in PDF format is available here." There might be some hope for Ricochet addicts after all.

    As an aside, I was tempted to drive in the carpool lane and day-dreamt about telling the cop that I was hosting multiple users on my computer (I used my Richochet-equipped laptop as a backup server for development and had a couple people banging away at my mod_perl stuff running under Apache on Win32) and, thus, was "pooling" while in my car.

    Never did it. No guts, not nuts.
