To expand on this a little, "will be" are the key words mentioned above. Mark Morse did explain why not everyone could enroll when Colony opened.

In a nut shell it's because they could not hire all doctors and open all centers at the same time. So because of such a large population here in TV, they needed to limit Colony to just 7 of the closest villages as well as making exceptions for those whose doctors were moving into the system, thereby allowing their patients to have continuity with them.

IMHO this all sounds more than reasonable. It also sounds like from what MM said, that they will be removing this restriction in time - once they feel that open enrollment has become feasible or manageable.
