Stumbled across the DTV project, which promises to provide independent internet TV. Pay attention to two key features:

• Anyone can publish video content with the Broadcast Machine PHP script.
• The published file apparently doesn't have to be hosted on a webserver, you can share it as a bittorrent from your desktop machine. The DTV client software implements the bittorrent protocol for downloading content, and presumably sharing content as well, so as soon as your video is "out in the wild", the clients that have downloaded it will help keep your own bandwidth usage down

Currently only for Mac, but a Windows client is apparently on the way.
