The basics for live webcasting are:
Connectivity: You should have a connection on site that can handle the bandwidth of the streams you'll be putting out plus overhead. DSL and cable need a lot of overhead, T1 or Dual ISDN need very little.
Video and Audio equipment: You're all set here.
Encoder(s): You'll need one medium powered, solid PC for every stream (56k, 100k, 300k, etc.). Each one needs a capture card, e.g., Osprey 200, and streaming software, i.e., Windows Media Encoder or Real Producer Plus.
Streaming Server: No one should attempt to administer their own Streaming Server unless they are extremely comfortable with Web server Admin. A lot of companies offer this service. Playstream is about average and very up-front about their prices:

About 98% of people who "look into" live streaming find it too difficult and too expensive. They usually end up encoded the video after the event and offering it on demand a few days later.
