I run a station, and so long as the station is in the united states, and you do NOT make any money off it (That includes donations) its free to run.

Bandwidth can be anywhere from a minimum of 7.5KB/s per user, upwards to 15KB/s anything more is overkill.

So say you want a 40 person station, you will need a server with AT LEAST 300KB/s bandwidth (Actually more). (Dedicated 30Mbit line there folks)

Thus costly.

Hense why I keep my station for a small number of users since I run if off my own home internet.

Otherwise the only options are having one person run the station personally, and have multiple people act as station relay's.

Similar to a processor cluster for computers.

Works like this:
Main server holds up to say 6 people, of them 6 spots you get 6 *relays* to connect, each of them able to host say 5 people.

You then have your self a 30 person station.

But it takes fairly coordinated work to keep that rolling perfectly.
