why you would just web seed the file
which means at it worst (1 person watching) it would be no more costly then a current tube site.

If x people are watching it at the same time, then you would split the file into x pieces and let them share it amoung themselves. The end result is bandwidth cost would be capped at 1 download irregardless of how many people were streaming the video.
