It's easier to cover something that flat than something that has hills
Ease of coverage was not the point of my statement. You said: "Well that's because T-Mobile doesn't go after rural area's and likely won't." The point was that T-Mobile DOES do rural, per my example, which was the entire state.

I see movement of expanding 3G in SW Oklahoma (by Lawton) and down in Vernon and Wichita Falls.
There's a 300 ft ridge of hills between here and the closest AT&T tower, enough to completely block the signal and create a dead spot for them. The only flat part of Oklahoma is the panhandle, the rest is quite hilly with the Wichita mountains the southwest, Arbuckles in south-central, and Kiamichi/Ouachita mountains in the southeast that are where there are huge gaps in all carriers' coverages. None are snow-capped peaks, but enough to cause gaps.
I give T-Mobile props, they have good GRPS and EDGE coverage here.
