In many situations, the fanout size will be small relative to the
economics -- some people can afford 50 mirrors especially for the
kinds of data sets we're talking about.
In all situations, peer-to-peer distribution or other distributed
computing/communication techniques will succeed in growing
computational, storage, and bandwidth resources with community size at
unitary-multiple-of cost to each community member.
