I'm really struggling to find a suitable translation for this term. I've found the term used elsewhere through a google search in the same sort of context so it doesn't appear to be that unusual. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Many thanks in advance.

local coverage
It means there are lots of them, so you're never very far away from one.
For example:
"La diversification des points de vente correspond à la recherche d'une plus grande capillarité du réseau conformément au souhait des éditeurs. Les actions menées à cet égard par les NMPP ont dépassé le stade des projets dans au moins trois domaines : les points de vente quotidiens (PVQ), l'opération « Mille villages de France » et les stations services."

concentration
In this article, 'capillarité' is translated as 'concentration'.
«D'une part parce que le réseau de distribution belge est assez figé depuis des années, d'autre part parce qu'il y a une capillarité très forte des commerces. (a strong concentration of shops)
http://www.bain.com/bainweb/About/press_release_detail.asp?i...
But the translation is poor in general.
