Los Gatos, California, June 20, 1996 -- Metricom, Inc. announced today that in
light of the decline in market prices for technology stocks and the current
uncertainties in the market, it would not be in the Company's best interest to
issue subordinated convertible notes at this time. Accordingly, the Company's
investment bankers have been instructed to discontinue the previously planned
private placement of such notes.
