Wait, my back of the envelope says you'll need to pull down around 650mb a second to stream 4K. That's uncompressed, sure, but anything in that power of ten isn't feasible.

Typical compression of 4k video ends up being more than a factor of 10 smaller.

Yikes you're right. Looks like 2 powers of 10.
