.Mac is the name of Apple's sharing service. The .Mac service probably runs off many different servers? but the user only knows about the .Mac service. It is unlikely that a single user will have different accounts on different .Mac servers. So there's little point in distinguishing between individual servers.

Mindspring
Earthlink
Verizon
Flickr

are all examples of services.

WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IS CONFUSING:
Collection name: My calendar
Sharing account: Sharing

PROPOSED CHANGE:
Collection name: My calendar
Shared via: Cosmo Sharing Service (or whatever we call the service in the future)

Q. Can we figure out the server or service name for subscribers as well?

We certainly know the host name (e.g. "cosmo- demo.osafoundation.org") and could display that. I'm not sure what you mean by "service name", though.
