I did some "back of the envelope" calculations. I hae 1 TB of bandwdith per month and the host I will be switching to soon has 6. That's great but, if you host MP3s and movies, you would probably need 100 times that just for a small host.By my rough calculation, that would only give 10,000 subscribers 200 downloads per month if they each had an average of 100 5 mb files. Videos, of course, are much larger.That, in turn, just looks at bandwidth, not storage or server power. I figure one would be looking at a dedicated rack of at least five servers with their own OC3 connection. You then have to worry about backups and redundancy.Basically, this is simply beyond my reach.Like I said though, some companies could do it, I'll have to write some people and pitch the idea.Thank you for the suggestion though and getting me to think on this!

The idea itself is an easy sell, but it doesn't scale very well.It not only requires a lot of hardware and bandwidth up front, but it has to be ready to grow and fast. Eventually you reach a point where you make enough on subscriptions to keep throwing logs on the fire, but hitting that point is no small feat.Think of it like this. How long would YouTube have lasted without a Google buyout? Probably not long.What would be ideal is for a company with the equipment and resources in place already to get involved in this field. The ideal targets, in my opinion, would be the large domain hosts such as Dreamhost, Midphase, GoDaddy, etc.They have the servers, bandwidth and tech expertise to make it happen. They just haven't pounced.I think it could work as a business very easily, one would just need a head start, either in the form of a few million dollars or a huge infrastructure in place.
