Subject: [Starlink] one dish per household is silly.

My objection to steve song's analysis here:

https://manypossibilities.net/2023/11/starlink-and-inequality/

A) Am I the only person left in the world that shares his wifi? A
single dishy can easily serve dozens of people which lowers the cost
per person enormously. Starlink has limited density per cell in the
first place, so hanging a wired or wireless bridge off of it and
covering a small town or merely multiple houses, not much of a
problem. I know of refuge centers in the ukraine serving hundreds of
people as one example.

B) I keep seeing estimates of service life being 5 years, when at the
moment I see it being 10 or more.
