Hiya David,

>Ricochet uses radio waves and like cell phones needs the towers for transmitters, which the county I live in was resisting.

No kidding!. I was looking for something faster than dialup and got so desparate the I considered Ricochet. They'd been advertising around Atlanta so I went to their website to check coverage in my area. But the coverage seem to be ONLY in Atlanta. Metro Atlanta is made up of 13 counties and countless towns and I live 30 miles outside of downtown Atlanta. No coverage at home.
