Have a look at this page:
http://www.real.com/solutions/servers/index.html
It has a link to Real Broadcast Network who claim they can provide among
other things: "full turnkey services - we provide all the hardware,
software, personnel, network connectivity and bandwidth; you just provide
your content."
Also, there is broadcast.com: http://www.broadcast.com/ .. and on
http://www.broadcast.com/about/ they say:

I know it might cost a lot of money, but have a look at these pages. May be
infidels.org can afford it, but I am not sure.
