Hi Bob,<div><br></div><div>Well, if you plan to do it from home - it's unlikely you'll be able to support more than 3 people on a domestic internet connection, broadcasting at 128kbps.....not sure what you have, connectivity wise there.</div>

If I can get a server for free, that's probably the way I'll go. I'll probably stream at 128 kbps.<div>
