[Starlink] Question on Startlink density

[J Pan]

an old starlink capacity rule of thumb is "100 dishes in a 300 km^2
cell". not sure about the latest as there are more satellites now, and
starlink can shuffle beam among nearby cells too

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?
