U.S. Ski Team Members Stay in Touch With Family and Friends Across the World Using 3Com's Bigpicture tv Phone
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 1998--After years of training, competing in the Winter Olympics(TM) is the thrill of a lifetime for U.S. athletes in Nagano, Japan. However, for many, there's something missing. Most Olympians aren't able to bring their families and friends with them to the games. For these athletes, the thrill can be somewhat diminished, as they're not able to directly share the excitement with their loved ones.

Now, thanks to the Bigpicture(TM) tv phone from 3Com Corporation (NASDAQ:COMS - news), they can. Matt Grosjean and Tommy Moe from the U.S. Ski Team have been able to speak face-to-face with friends and loved ones across the world using the Bigpicture tv phone.

''It's a dream come true to be able to see and talk to my wife and kids on a television set while I'm in Japan,'' said Matt Grosjean of the U.S. Ski Team. ''The fact that Bigpicture tv phone allows me to share my experiences with my family face-to-face makes it even more exciting.''

The 3Com Bigpicture tv phone combines a touch-tone telephone and television to form a complete video solution with a suite of viewing options. Because it uses standard telephone lines, a video phone call costs no more than a regular telephone call. All of the Bigpicture tv phone's components are contained in a small camera that fits nicely on top of any television set. In addition, the Bigpicture tv phone is compatible with VCRs, so users can record special video calls they wish to save.

The 3Com Bigpicture tv phone is currently available with a suggested U.S. retail price of $449. Check with your local retailer for more pricing details. For additional information on the Bigpicture tv phone or Bigpicture product family, visit 3Com?s Web site at http:www.3com.com/bigpicture.
