For all us Ricochet modem users, let's hope it's not true. They filed for
Chapter 11 recently and are having an auction of the company.

I hope some investors pick it up and continue the service!
I've used the service with my PB Pismo and Newton for six months and it
has been great. On the Newt the battery drain is high, but I've found
that regular alkalines work best.
