3G phones only have ~14% market integration, cell phones aren't universally owned, actually some countries have ridiculously low adoption rates for their internet infrastructure. 3G infrastructure is severely lacking compared to 2G infrastructure.
There's plenty of cities here in Canada without any 3G access and have over 100,000 people and no current plans for 3G. Even areas with 3G, rarely have usable 3G everywhere, especially around cottage country here in Ontario. The valleys seriously hamper even 2G access, especially anywhere near the water.
The majority of people don't live in metropolitan areas, so I believe this would sell hugely. I also believe most people don't want to pay for internet twice.
Edit: http://www.coveragemaps.com/gsmposter_world.htm http://www.coveragemaps.com/gsmposter_world.htm Yellow is 3G. It certainly isn't expansive access in NA and considering offline access would likely only be required outside of major populated areas, this generally means outside of 3G areas. Offline is kind of the point of an offline wikipedia.
