[Starlink] one dish per household is silly.

[Inemesit Affia]

Starlink terms of service as at launch with the round dishes required each
user to pay regardless of the number of dishes. Not unusual compared to
other ISP's.

Of course you can share regardless. Cruise liners use 6 to 12 dishes to
deliver service to thousands. And there's people using it for free WiFi in
restaurants and airplanes and schools
