Ricochet came up most recently a few weeks ago when an article appeared about its current owner's latest attempts to extend service: While Terabeam has 20,000 users in Denver and 4,000 in San Diego, according to the company, they were hamstrung by the way in which Metricom stopped operating when it went into bankruptcy. They left a lot of peeved municipalities in their wake. News a few days ago indicates the Terabeam is considering selling Ricochet, finding a partner, or obtaining investment. [link via TechDirt]
