The business model calls for a eight to one ratio of paying subscribers to active subscribers. This is based on ~12% of subscribers using the network at once, and each subscriber averaging 500 mb's a month of transfer.

Which strangely enough is the same formula the ex Bell companies use to determine the amount of trunks in a given CO. It didn't work for them, and in truth I'll bet Metricom's network would have been swamped and unusable once it got popular. It was a good service, but they fell prey to uncontrolled expansion like so many other dot-bombs.
