That map illustrates the point completely - masses of rural coverage yet fairly little around some of the biggest built up areas.

In case you forgot that's the way it was intended to be, the government forced them to provide extensive rural coverage before they could begin covering cities. The same sort of regulatory incentive we have here with public funding for rural build-out and not urban hotspots which the providers are already clamoring to cover among themselves.
