Gigabit speeds are great, but 80% of the value of Starlink is just getting the 11 Mbps to the people who can't get even that speed in any better way. There are many (millions?) of Americans who don't have that. So let's calculate from that number (or 10 Mbps, to make it easy). 240K Gbps * 1000Gb/Mb / 10Mbps/customer = 24M customers. I've heard that in most residential cases, people on average use about a tenth of their bandwidth. That gets us up to 240M customers. That's only about a tenth of the world's rural populations [1], but that is still pretty great.
