It's really just a question of how the auctioneer is connected. For example, those on aDSL would have an issue with the upload speed limit. If you're paying by-the-byte, as most cellular customers do, you might tier up and incur additional bandwidth fees. The stream, however, would not need to be high fidelity; which should save a whole bunch of bandwidth.
Doesn't it cost to rent a stream no matter how small amount of people listening? I have never had a need for one so I am not really sure how to go about it all.
