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

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.
