Plotting the revival of Ricochet CNET News.com But Aaronson, who intends to "relight" Ricochet this year, remains convinced that 2002 will be more promising for wireless Internet service providers.

Wired News: A Rebirth for Ricochet 01:20 PM Aug. 16, 2002 PT Against all odds, the Ricochet wireless Internet service has returned from the grave. This week, Ricochet, a mobile broadband network whose parent company filed for bankruptcy last year, said that it is now offering service to customers in Denver.

Buffalo Wireless Internet Service The service was sold to Aerie Networks, which has patiently resurrected Ricochet in two cities, San Diego and its hometown of Denver, not coincidentally the final stop on my road trip.

While other networks, such as Ricochet's, use sophisticated routing tables to balance network traffic and transfer mobile users from one access point to another, none attempts Mesh's Herculean task of tracking proto-access points, also moving around at highway speed. www.buffalowireless.net /what_s_new/city_wireless.htm

But it was available in only three cities, and its speeds had long been surpassed--although the faster technologies such as 56-kilobits per second ( kbps) modems and digital subscriber lines ( DSL) do not offer portability. news.cnet.com /news/0-1004-200-2833116.html   (271 words)

EarthLink founder takes to the air CNET News.com EarthLink chairman and founder Sky Dayton will unveil his newest company on Thursday, a wireless Internet service provider named "Boingo."
