Bleck I can't believe they didn't learn from FFXI and WoW that not having all AHs linked is going to annoy and put off players. There is absolutely no reason for them not to be linked, at least no reason beyond holding on to poor 1.0 architecture. Sure they want gil sinks, but sheesh, two retainers for three cities is going to suck. You are going to want to sell materials and gear in cities based upon the classes therein, but to do that you'll have to constantly move your retainers about. I hate to say it, but maybe it will be like 1.0 and everyone will congregate in Ul'dah and Limsa will be a ghost town. It would make choosing a lot easier. XD

They will all be linked. The only difference, iirc, will be that if your going to buy something from a retainer stationed in gridania and you want to purchase it in uldah, it will charge you a higher tax rate than it would if you traveled to gridania and purchased it there. Think of it as a shipping charge. All retainers stationed in gridania will can be viewed from uldah and limsa lominsa. You just get charged a higher tax if you purchase an item from it in uldah or LL. As far as I know they haven't officially said this is exactly how it will work or made a full post about how they will work, but this is how Yoshi has mentioned his vision on how they will work in a previous letter from the producer live.
