We do, but the services offered in the States aren't on par with what we hear about from Europe and Japan. Our carriers are fighting the fact all that customers want from them is a "dumb pipe" to the Internet, and have structured services and handset purchases around funneling customers into long term contracts and complicated plans. It's been getting better over the last few years, but "buy just a SIM and get a chunk of data for a reasonable price" plans still tend to have worse geographic coverage and lower throughput speeds.
