Easy way to stream church to the web or multiple locations

316Networks (http://www.316networks.com/) provides a great service for churches looking to stream ministry to multiple locations or to the web. Soon to partner with Kulabyte (http://www.kulabyte.com/), 316Networks offers a live streaming package with simple implementation and strong backend support.

Last I checked, basic pricing runs $1500 per month and a one-time setup fee for the encoder box of $750. Most cable internet connections support the necessary bandwidth to move content up to 316Networks.

After researching a bunch of other options, 316Networks seems to provide the best Christ-centered solution for moving services to the web. The cost may seem a bit much but considering the increase in reach to the local community and abroad, I think that live streaming provides a huge opportunity for connecting Christians to Biblical teaching.

I linked a demo site below from Jeff Ivan, one of the media consultants with 316Networks.
