ustream.tv is the right answer these days for ad-hoc video; some others are better if you want a whiteboard/chat. There are even solutions that use bonded mobile phones that can broadcast decent quality basically anywhere you can get a mobile data connection, http://www.eddie.com/2011/03/10/streaming-music-from-sxsw/ Webcasting events in other parts of the world is commonplace and straightforward: you have one person show up with a camera & laptop, point at the stage, twewt the URL, job done. (Debating the relative merits of live v. delayed v. in-person is moot for someone that actually wants to see it live!) Paul
