well, i think it is fairly simple to create one yourself.
the issue of bwidth is fairly complex as i see it, it really isnt straight
division, where you can divide, say a 1 Mbps co-lo arrangement by 40 kbps
to support 25 concurrent listeners.
depending on your bwdth provider, you may only get 75% of your rated
throughput since the connection is probably oversold.
then figure, to ensure a certain level of quality assurance you
overprovision yourself. i know of a few value added hosting guys like
Activate and others that light more pipes when stead state demand reaches
40% of capacity.
oh...one other thing. there is a BIG ecomonic difference in trying to
build an infrastructure to accomodate 90% of peak users and 100%. at some
point the extra, ongoing bandwidth considerations make it too costly to
accomodate everyone if you are on a budget.
