Blue Sky supposedly has 5.5 million active users.

By your own numbers it averages 2.7 MB/s. This is manageable with a good cable internet connection or a small vps. This is a small number for 5.5 million active users.

What happens if it expands to 10 times its current active users? Who knows, maybe only the 354 million people around the world with access to gigabit broadband can run a full server at home and the rest of the people and companies that want to run full servers will have to rent a vps.

The point here is that this is not a practical problem. How many of these servers do you really need?
