This can be, indeed, a huge issue for all using online servers. How do you envision rolling out your own service? Do you plan to enrol CDN and servers or is there any other way? Compared to just distributing of the files, map tile generation requires CPU and that maybe significant expense.

Looks like Klokantech also provides maps access via selling it to individual users, if I read the end of the page http://www.tileserver.com/ correctly. Maybe there are some other services were you could offload handling users directly.
