That doesn't make any sense. Bandwidth in what respect? Size of trunk groups in access tandem links? Those places are in low-populated areas; it is logical to expect their facilities to be less dense there than in metro markets. That's not really "bandwidth" in the conventional sense, either way.
I'm working on a project that will require completion of up to 1m calls/hour into particular areas, so I'm learning a lot about the details of inter-carrier capacity and bandwidth available for voice. A company like L3 has IP connectivity into most of the areas where it can terminate/originate calls, and the amount of that is based on expectations of call volume based on the type of area and population. Then there are the telephony trunks from the L3 IP gateways to the local carrier(s) which have a hard limit of concurrent calls.
