Are they required to have precise locations listed?

I believe many of these sites do not belong to Space X but are rented by companies offering such services. So they uplink for other companies as well and deal with regulatory stuff etc.

In many jurisdictions, you need a license to operate a teleport, and the applications are public and require a precise location.

There's a lot of RF emissions right there.

these seem to be just operator hq locations, not necessarily the station street addresses. but yeah, the locations would be public information.

How would you know you live close enough to one for a physical link with it otherwise? I guess they could put "General 10km area here" but would still be kind of bad for people living on the opposite end of the "general area".
