Jack,
As the all band demand would increase the load from a 100 users to
thousands, I guess it would be up to the system capacity and if the
antennas are capable of the bandwidth requirement at one given moment
without compromise. Maybe it would be done by subscriptions with on
line payment
Ag, Herb you have stumbled on to the idea we have joked

That is a Wullenwber (or Wullenwever) array. See:

It would have probably made one heck of an 80/160 meter receive
antenna G.
The video appears to be one of the abandoned Russian Kraug arrays -
