                       Metricom Announces Nasdaq Delisting


SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 7, 2001--Metricom Inc.
(Nasdaq:MCOQE), a company that provided high-speed wireless data services, today
announced that it has been notified by Nasdaq that its securities would be
delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market effective as of the opening of business on
Monday, September 10, 2001. This notification follows Metricom's withdrawal of
its request for a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to
consider the delisting determination previously made by the Nasdaq staff.
Trading in Metricom's common stock has been suspended since July 2, 2001,
following its announcement that it had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company anticipates that its securities may be
quoted on the Pink Sheets following delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Statements made or implied in this press release that are not historical facts,
including those related to the Chapter 11 proceeding, the liquidation process,
future trading of the Company's securities, the Company's ability to
successfully restructure its debts or successfully emerge from the Chapter 11
proceedings, are forward looking and are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements
involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause results to differ materially
from those set forth in these statements. All forward-looking statements are
subject to risks that the actions or strategies described will not be
successfully completed or achieved.
