using a cdn is going to cost you a hell of alot more then normal dedicated servers for streaming unless your pushing a shitload of bandwith
with your math of 375tb a month if your useage is semi steady your looking at around 2500mbps billed on 95th billing which you can get for way less then $11250 a month.
an example would be i could provide you with a streaming server with 16 1.5tb hd's a few ssd drives for caching and 2500mbps bandwith for $4000 a month less then half of what your thinking of with your cdn idea.

Plus: 2TB RAID-10 media box.
Plus: Separate SSD DB box.
$12,000 - $12,500 / month @ 25,000 uniques give or take.
Where am I wrong? What am I missing?
I know there are people on this board who know this stuff WAY better than I do.
