Starlink antennas for the satellite data communication system deployed 
by SpaceX are being installed rapidly in rural areas.

While their size is similar to that regular dish antennas, their color 
is white, they are installed basically facing the sky, and they must 
have a full view of the sky down to low elevations, as they track moving 
satellites.
The above characteristics make them much harder to hide than regular 
dish antennas.

Royalston is wondering if other HDCs have developed specific regulations 
about their use.
