If New Zealand can manage damn near 100% cellular coverage, and we have some pretty reasonable mountains, why can't others?

I mean New Zeeland is pretty wealthy and relatively small.

If that's true though, I'm impressed that New Zeeland has coverage through all those mountains. Definitely not the same situation in the American West
