Ah, Rabbit was amazing. A “mobile” you could use within a few feet of specific locations.
As for Ionica, it wasn’t that long ago that you would still see the dishes on roofs and chimneys in the Midlands. Its downfall, though, was less to do with rain and more that it was narrowband, so good only for voice and maybe dialup modem, at a time when cable networks were not far off launching DOCSIS broadband.
