You also don't need a lot of bandwidth. A federation of just 50 servers using a $20 virtual server each would have 4000 gigabytes of storage and 150000 gigabytes of bandwidth per month across the federation. That's a lot of bandwidth and a lot of storage, all federated. So to run a site with all that content would only cost you $20 per month.

I guess you don't understand how a peer-to-peer network operates, there would be lot's of redundancy in the files that are shared across your "federation" so you wouldn't have access to 4TB and there still has to be 50 people spending $20, which works out to $1000 a month on my calculator.
If I wanted 4TB of drive space, and 150TB of data, I can get that on OVH for $60.
Again the whole idea behind this is to get rid of advertising, and why would we want to do that anyway ???
