This is not new. The first attempt was by a company called MetriCom...

I lived in the Bay Area when MetriCom was active. The big issues were:

1. MetriCom was expensive.

2. MetriCom was not very fast--speeds comparable to, but slower than, dial up modems.

3. MetriCom required an external modem the size of a small brick.

These were the specifics that killed MetriCom. I thought about subscribing, but the cost and disadvantages above persuaded me not to.

Thank you. So for the most part I was correct?
