ahh, that is going to depend how many other people are in your area. But if it's 
only 100 terminals and nobody else for miles, I don't think there would be any 
problems.

The place in question would like to do fiber, but it’s in a senstive area, so getting permits is tricky (cannot use any previously undisturbed land), and so the fiber project has dragged on.  Now SL is available and some are getting it.  That’s fine, but could it support 100 over one linear mile?
