Re: IP: Ricochet Going Dark -- not confirmed Will track (fwd)

Carol:

Ricochet, of all the players, was one of the more limited in
scope of coverage. Others, such as CDPD, can claim a far larger
coverage area. However, Ricochet offered useable speeds at a
affordable all you can eat price (for wireless internet that is).

As to national coverage, (and some of us do live in rural areas,) the
only terristrial choice has been cellular amps with dial-up circuit switched 
modem.

If you mean national in the sense of major cities, then CDPD will be
your only fall-back, and that is 9600bps generally. GoAmerica offers
a limited roaming service for CDPD, (and also offered ricochet) and
you can see the coverages there:
