I'm not trying to dissuade you from getting into it but it took us 2 years to get it where it's at now. It wasn't easy lets just say that...

agreed... to really have a shot of making it pay off, you need a budget of at least 5-10k per month and that gets you about 50-100 servers and 250-500 megs of bandwidth...

then you need content...

then you need a custom app if you want to get more than 500-1000 uploads per day per server....
