Really...
Really.. if the networks there have enough 3G capacity to keep speeds up and the 3G is running well, then skipping 4G would in fact make sense. T-Mo here in the US never got around to upgrading a lot of their rural network from 2G (often even GPRS rather than at least EDGE) and now are directly overlaying 4G LTE in these areas (so they will be 2G+LTE, no 3G), skipping a gen does make sense at times.
