3Com Chairman and CEO Eric Benhamou said during a presentation to the FORTUNE/Stanford Graduate School of Business Summit on the E-Corporation that the deployment of broadband connections to Internet users will generate millions of new customers seeking to conduct online commerce. “As the network infrastructure expands, the scope and impact of e-business will grow accordingly,” Benhamou said. “For example, handheld Internet access through products like the PalmVII wireless connected organizer will further push the boundaries of e-commerce by providing instant access to Internet data.”
