Non-commercial live video streaming alternatives?

Hi there,

Looking for a solution that would replace Justin.tv as a video streaming service, one that is non-commercial and embeddable in a Web page. We are already trying VLC but are looking for a service rather than software if we can find it. Needs to be live streaming, not just recorded.Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks!

Just to add a bit of information to my solution:
- kyte.tv has a 100mb limitation on uploaded file size (about 10 minutes of video, similar to YouTube).
- LiveCast seems promising, but the video stream was not very high quality in my one brief test.

Another solution I've discovered involves a combination of open source products:
- VLC client
- IceCast server

We are in the process of getting a test set up for the VLC/IceCast combination. If that works, I'd say that is the best way to go (provided you have server space).
