While driving my daughter back out to her mother/school in Lancaster county, PA, I saw '4G' for the radio. "Woohoo!", I thought. 4G has blossomed out from Philly, through my native Chester County, all the way into Amish-town, USA. On my trip back home, back to 3G. Damn. 4G comes out west to Paoli, jumps Chester County proper, and picks up again in AMISH Country!!!! I guess us in strip mall laden Philly suburbs rate less than electricity-shunning, horse-n-buggy driving farmers.

Some Amish communes here in Indiana have electricity, satellite dish and all.

Unless you are talking the extremely 'true to the old ways' Amish like the Swartzentrubers cellphones are generally allowed for business use. A lot of times they have to take advantage of a few loopholes, for example being allowed to have electricity in your place of business (work shop, job site, store, etc.), but not your house.

It could very well be that the signal is traveling further through Amish Country rather than being targeted at them. The lower density of users, lack of tall buildings, and general lack of interference probably greatly enhances the covered range compared to near strip malls.
