Their infrastructure is vast and varied. We have no idea why they chose to do certain cities first, but I'm sure they gave it a fair bit of thought. It could be the need to upgrade the backhaul links and not just the towers...

Seeing as how they don't have any 4G cell phones on the market and none of their major devices will have it from what I read I'm sure they see it is less important in the larger markets. It will roll out in time

What good is a huge 12mbps capable downlink when the backhaul is only 1.5mbps?
