I don't know what I need to accomplish this task. Please feel free to give me any suggestions and please give me pricing as well. I want to take a video of a wedding and be able to stream it to family members and friends that cannot attend the wedding because they are out of the country. I am not sure about the number of individuals that will be watching this. Here is what I am thinking.

Camera -> laptop --(some kind of conmpression on the fly)--> server with fat bandwidth -> clients

The part in bold is the part I am not sure how to do, if this is even a plausible solution.

We have a camera with firewire out. Would some type of streaming camera work better?
What kind of laptop power would I need? It could possibly be a tower too if a laptop doesn't have enough power.
What software would be used to do on the fly compression? What format would it end up in for streaming?
The T1 should be in place already to serve.

Assuming the T1 and camera are already in place, what is the cost of this?

Thanks for any advice.

look at apple for quicktime broadcaster

it's free, apple has lots of docs how to use it.

you have all you need - you have apple

So I would need Quicktime Streaming Server to serve it once I use Broadcaster to create the file, since I plan to stream to multiple clients at once? Does that sound about right?
