"While continuing to evaluate new ways to maximize revenue potential for stadium owners and managers,
we are also examining ways to benefit consumers," said Scott Cote, Chief Technology Officer, Wireless
Dimensions Corporation. "Ultimately, the more uses we can find for Mobile-Venue Suite™, the more
consumers will want to access the platform."
Mobile-Venue Suite™ is air-interface-independent and will operate on all of the major wireless networks
throughout the world, including wireless data networks. It will evolve seamlessly to run on next-
generation networks. It will use the WAP protocol, which is supported on a wide variety of handheld
