If you want to host the streaming yourself, that's true.

However, there are free broadcast services where all you need is a webcam, somewhat decent upload speed, and a web browser with Flash. It's really easy to use, and the streaming to users happens off someone else's web server.

E.g. at Squeakfest in L.A. they used justin.tv, and there was almost no setup at all:
