Kann mir jemand auf deutsch erklären, wo für die Wireless-Branche die
spezifischen Probleme liegen, da die Aktienkurse in einem jämmerlichen
Zustand sind.

WFII wurde heute von 3 Häusern abgestuft - was ist los ?
Der deutschen Funkwerk geht es hervorragend, die sammeln Aufträge
für Jahre an.

Werden hier nur Überbewertungen abgebaut, oder sind die Zukunftspläne der
gesamten Branche in Amerika gescheitert ?

Bitte nur um sachliche Information.

Metricom`s Auditor Issues Caution About Firm`s Future (Auditor=Buchprüfer)

A WSJ.com News Roundup

Metricom Inc. auditor Arthur Andersen said it has "substantial
doubt" about the company`s ability to continue as a going concern,
according to Metricom`s annual report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission Friday.

Two weeks ago, Metricom said it cut 22% of its work force.
That move came after the company in February posted a wider
loss for the fourth quarter and said it would shelve plans to
expand its Ricochet wireless-Internet service into additional
markets until it can raise more funding. Chief Executive and
Chairman Timothy Dreisbach resigned shortly thereafter.

Arthur Andersen cited the company`s recurring losses from
operations, as well as the company`s significant financial
commitments for equipment as its reasons for raising a going
concern doubt, according to the filing.

At Feb. 28, Metricom had working capital of about $327 million
and outstanding purchase commitments for network equipment,
network construction labor and modems of about $346 million.

Metricom said that at its current level of operations and rate of
negative cash flow, it expects it will need additional cash
resources of about $500 million to achieve positive cash flow
from operations.

The company said it has enough cash and cash equivalents to
satisfy its capital expenditure requirements through August.
