The direct site that they were advertising for 1.2 million or so
looked compact enough to stuff into a a C130 transport plane and drop
onto a providers network anywhere, almost overnight, to provide
10Gbit(?) service. I did not get the dimensions of it, but...

Given that typical usage at ISP peak is about an average of 5Mbit/sec
per household today, mostly driven by 1/6th the users watching
netflix, and starlink achieving download speeds regularly of
300Mbit...

If movie quality is to be compromised to old fashioned 1.5Mbit 720P,
200 households - that can be served by local fiber, wireless bridges,
even 5G, per terminal, over that 70 miles per cell.

For some of the 2B that have nothing today. Early on I had hoped
starlink would enable "a village" to have telephony and local internet
services spread out from there, much like they did in the 90s.
Additional fiber/wireless bridges can expand that island outside the
cell.

It remains unclear to me how many terminals can be stuffed efficiently
together.
