If your server is connected to the internet via 256kbps xDSL, then that'll
serve a whopping 2.5kbps to all 100 of your users. I wouldn't count on
having a very large audience unless you can find a T1 (or better) to
broadcast from.
If you're talking about targetting video at 56kbps users then you'd really
only be capable of having perhaps five simultaneous users. Also, I believe
the free RealServer only supports up to ten simultaneous users.
