From: "mike ritter" <mwritter () yahoo com> To: "Dave Farber" <farber () cis upenn edu> Subject: NYC and Ricochet Dave et al., Metricom, WCOM and a whole bunch of volunteers have managed to get 4 or 5 WAPs up in NYC and some poletops at NYC's request. NYC already had a bunch of modems and WWC has offered to supply them with whatever else they need. Lots of work for all involved. Some of the NY ex-metricomee's were contacted by the city and found out that, for instance, not only were all the city buildings in that area without Internet connections, but so were the emergency command posts... no E-Mail! I have no idea how they could organize anything. People are now happily Ricocheting from ground zero. -Mike
