Reuters - 09:16 a.m. Mar 17, 1999 Eastern

HANOVER, Germany, March 17 (Reuters) - France's Alcatel said on Wednesday it
was in cooperation with 3COM of the United States to develop handheld computing
products which it expects to reach customers this year.

''The cooperation between the two companies...is expected to result in products to
customers this year,'' Alcatel said in a statement at the CeBIT technology trade
show.

''The two companies intend to cooperate through an open public forum to define a
standard application programme interface (API) between any handheld computing
device and any mobile phone or telecommunication terminal,'' it said.

Alcatel said the venture would be open to all industry players.
