It appears the problem then is capacity. Either Hughes will have to increase capacity ; another bird, or Musk will solve the capacity problem . Any other possible solutions?
Another bird is going up next year. How much of its capacity will be designated for the US, however, I don't know. However, that new bird may only help lessen the impact for a time, not solve it.

And the more people that do so, the more congested the system becomes. But nearly everything else we do online is becoming more bandwidth intensive, so it's not just the streaming, though that is, by far, the most impactful.
