Because they don't have it ;)

1340248 2013-05-08 11:40:00 In that case, go the Nexus 7 with 3G. It's slightly more expensive than some of the cheaper no-name 3G tablets you MAY find in that pricing bracket, but you'll be glad you went for the Nexus 7 in the long run.

Provided they're not doing a whole lot of video, the $19 a month for 500MB of data isn't bad (The other things like Minutes etc won't get used), and I'd go with XT. I consistently find XT to be faster with better coverage.
If they will be doing a bit more, then 2Degrees do 1GB for $20 a month: www.2degreesmobile.co.nz
