I used Live365 for a couple years before they started changing their policies to *severely* limit what a broadcaster can do.
I now run an IDM shoutcast stream @ 56Kbps which can support 75 concurrent listeners. It costs me around $2.00 per listener.
Check it out:

Im broadcasting 24/7 out of San Francisco, California =)
I still have a Live365 account for all my Jungle mixes and coincidentally it's the #1 ranking in the Jungle category:

If anyone is interested in starting their own station or is looking for hosting of web or shoutcast OGG / RealMedia / IceCast / Windows Media streams
- please contact me offlist to discuss prices ...
