Yes, I think that's always been so. Europe is far more compact than the 
U.S., and with much more typical population density.

To tell another anti-AT&T tale: The first time we went to continental 
Europe, we (or rather, my wife) had a flip phone through AT&T. I called 
AT&T support to ask whether the phone would function in Europe. The tech 
support guy I got told me it absolutely would, no problem at all.

Of course when we landed, we found the phone was useful only as a 
paperweight. IIRC, the phone wasn't even capable of dealing with the 
frequencies that Europe used. And when I took it into a cell phone store 
of some kind, asking if something could be done to make it work, the 
tech guy there said "We've never even seen a phone like this one!"

Ah well. We got by for six weeks anyway, mostly by using internet cafes.
