Sounds like pure speculation... have you run your own image hosting site? If not hten the advice you provide isn't to accurate... and having run many of my own and still do your advice is not dead-on.
You don't need to hire someone you just need a good backend where you can approve/remove images in batches quickly. And 10mbit is enough to start out but I wouldn't get a 10mbit for 1 server.
A 10mbit is approx. 3.25Terabytes a month instead of getting an "unmetered" (meaning you can run it up to 10mbit for 24/7 for a month and utilize approx 3.25 TB of tarnsfer) server I would get one that limits your bandwidth to say 2.5TB for under $200 a month and you can then utilie 100mbit. Spread the site on to multiple servers.. $400 a month is now 5TB instead of 3.25 and you have 100mbit to serve your pictures not the crpapy 10mbit
