In the VoIP world technologically there's no reason why you would need 
an incoming hunt group as you say. As a call comes in, the provider 
would forward it to you - there's no actual group of channels... just 
your account information. Now - some providers may limit how many you 
can actually have up simultaneously but that's a feature of their system.
