By the same logic, all of the office space in New York could not fit
in New York.  But it does because they stack it 20 or 100 floors one
on top of the other.

I suspect the areas will overlap with very dense coverage in urban
areas.  Perhaps in some places there is 50 or 100 channels of coverage
and in others one or even zero.
