How do I start up a net-based radio station? And what's the cost?

A friend wants to do this, but doesn't know what the startup or monthly costs will be and how to go about starting it? Anybody with some experience with this?

A lot. The Bandwith requirements for decent quality (96kbs or higher) is unfathomable.
