Here's a simple way to work out your monthly data total:

Take your kbps streaming rate, multiply by 324 to get your monthly total in
Mbps

So streaming at 64kb/s x 324 = 20,736 Mbytes streamed per month, or 20.7GB

You could try sending it direct to your listeners yourself but yes, you would
need a major connection at considerable expense (10 gig pipe and huge traffic
limits to overseas maybe). Another option would be to relay your signal to
another provider which then sends your signal to your listeners. There are
quite a few companies that offer this service like mediacast (I think Ross
uses them) but you will need a lot of bandwidth to relay to overseas - I have
found it uses somewhere around 35-40 Gig a month to relay Heaven FM in 64Kb
Ogg Vorbis 24/7. The only feasible way I found at this stage was to relay to a
NZ streaming company using a Telstra 2Meg connection (one tenth bandwidth
usage for local traffic) and let them send it out to your listeners. If you're
still interested after all that, drop this guy a line - tell him I sent you
(hehe), and he may be able to hook you up with an NZ based relay service for
around $50-60 month ;) barry@...



Just drop me a line if you got any other questions...

I'm looking for any information on how to set up Internet streaming.

What do I need - do I have to buy another computer - do I need another
sound card - do I just send it out and tell people my IP address -
are there any hidden zraps.

I'm in New Zealand, where our broadband is more fraudband, with a
monopoly telco mandating tiny down- and upload caps (the worst plan is
limited to 200 MB/month!) and slow slow upload speeds at 128 Kbit/sec.

How would I get onto Shoutcast, and does that make me subject to
strange and annoying US regulations?

What are the experiences of others?
