Re: Japan is small, that's why..... Basically - it means that there's no demand for it and no regulation to push for it.
US will have lawyers all over regulatory issues, and corporations do not want to deploy w/o having huge profits unless regulations (corporate welfare system) is there to pay for it.
Unless someone has a large profit margin available, and guaranteed, they're not sticking their necks out.

1 edit | FiOS isn't available nationwide
/lives in the 2nd largest city with pewVerse and TWC
//they don't compete here (no VoIP even on Uverse)
///got the $89/month VoIP/HSI/Digital tv for a year on TWC
////UVerse offering +$200 rebates (have to... no VoIP makes Uverse REALLY expensive for triple play)
Many of these physically smaller countries have a certain amount of regulation on the infrastructure that doesn't exist here. Corporations will build where they can either maximize profit or have an interest (i.e. business case, political influence).
Eg. AT&T deploys VoIP at $40/month, except Detroit is $20/month 
Los Angeles area has had Uverse for +1 year, yet will not have VoIP because AT&T can make more off of POTS $40=~$53/month after taxes.
