WIRELESS FAN INTERACTIVE TO BE UNVEILED SUNDAY AT 3COM

          3Com "plans to unveil a limited version" of a fan
     interactivity system, which includes polls and streaming
     video, at Sunday's Cardinals-49ers game, according to Tommy
     Cummings of the S.F. CHRONICLE.  The effort is "one of the
     visions that 3Com had when it set up about 50 transmitters"
     at the 3Com Park "to allow fans to use handheld computers to
     enhance the viewing experience."  The network will be
     available "only to the luxury boxes" on Sunday, but if the
     technology "works as planned," other spectators "will be
     able to access statistics, use e-mail and order food for
     delivery."  3Com Park is "believed to be the first" to use
     wireless "high-tech amenities," but Houston-based Compaq
     "could join the mix if its plan to buy" San Jose Arena is
     approved by the city (S.F. CHRONICLE, 9/29).
