AT&T Wireless is headquartered in Redmond, WA. 20 minutes (12 miles)
outside of downtown Seattle.

Where in the hell are ATT Wireless headquarters located? I checked their
web
site and darned if I could find out. ATT acquired McCaw Cellular. McCaw
was
based in Seattle, right? They probably have a ton of resources there.
Every Japanese newspaper has a reporter in Seattle covering Ichiro. Now
they can
cover Ichiro and the introduction of i-mode to the U.S. at the same
time.
Hawaii sounds good but it's kind of isolated from the rest of the U.S. I
also
wonder what ATT's wireless market share is there. I believe GTE is
number one
there (don't quote me on that).
