Ok...

With webcasting comes lots of bandwidth and processing. StreamHosts are expensive, however you can have them take care of the licensing and royalties. For a small business the licensing and royalties really aren't that hard, but there is loads of paperwork.

My options if I choose to operate from my own servers...

Dedicated: Cheaper than StreamHosting but have to apply for licensing and royalties and submit info on everything aired EVERY month. More control.

Bandwidth: Purchasing a 3Mbps-10Mbps bandwidth package and have it routed to my office through Verizon (Uggghhh!) and pay for both the ISP and Bandwidth Provider. TOTAL control.

Which is my best option and from whom should I purchase my services? If you have a deal let me know.

Thanks.

Any experiences and tips are appreciated.
