What do you think my chances would be to try to get 1,000,000 hits a day from p2p. How much do you think it would cost to do it (intial setup, not opperational expenses)? Obviously these questions would be geared towards the people who are actually making money from it.
I am not asking for any insider information here, just some general questions.

If you want to get into something fun... we have thought about this as well..we are sitting on 3gigs of uncapped bandwidth right now, I bought out an older company with peering contracts in place from '01.. so my bandwidth is almost free...and we have a FULL cage sitting on dark fiber just waiting for something fun. 200 servers could be up and running on at least 1gig to start for a few grand...we already have like 60 dell's sitting in the cage waiting for something to do. The peering contract is intact as long as its "me" operating the servers.
Already have enterprise level admins on staff.... currently the bandwidth is for playing with online radio applications, and serving video for higher traffic mainstream sites.
If anyone has any bright ideas... hit me up
Bandwidth is a HUGE factor in a lot of online startup ideas... I beat the curve on that already so willing to partner up with anyone who thinks they can make the rest work.
Last show I asked for pricing on my 3gigs same spec.... $35k-75k per month with the full cage etc.
