How do you estimate usage in a roaming, mesh network? If you don't have capacity, people say it's too slow and cancel service. You basically have to have full coverage in your entire market areas, don't you?

Metricom-Richochet way overbuilt their network in some places and thus lost a lot of money. If they had a better business plan, they probably would have made it.

Metricom-Ricochets ultimate success or failure?

I take it that nobody has ever built a 900MHz NLOS mesh network before. Which is not a good sign to me. That's a sign that my idea probably won't work.....
