AWS is exactly the wrong use case for shunting audio and video around the internet. You'll get cleaned out if you try to do that on AWS. There's 2 companies that are pulling it off. Netflix, which has partner boxes in each isp in America which dramatically lightens the load, and they're shuffling the cash in with their unsustainable production budget. The other is twitch, which got bought by Amazon and now server and data costs are inter-department funny money; and they're also in the process of fucking the userbase out of every slim dime by injecting ads everywhere and pissing off the talent.
The only way to make it make sense is to rollout your own boxes into strategic colos to the areas you want to serve. Look at Floatplane as an example.
