I think it is essential for the credibility of a “math 2.0″ project (or any research related project, for that matter) that it is entirely taken care of by academic institutes (universities, mathematical societies, academies). The arXiv is a good example, the math blog of the CNRS (Images des mathématiques) is another good example.

As for bandwith matters: wouldn’t they be easy to solve by mirroring the “math 2.0″ site accross the world?
