Coverage will increase, but bits/human, particularly uplink, is going to be harder. I can see streaming 500 channels of video, but 10-20 async sessions per household over the entirety of North America sounds like a lot of bits. Even with, say 100 satellites overhead, that's still 5-6 million people per satellite. let's call it a million households. Particularly during peak use hours in the evening, that's a lot a lotta bits.
