5 years my ars... ;o)

While REDRAY is even more efficient - it does require dedicated HW to decode in RT at the user emd (REDRAY player, etc...)

My bet : Sony's decision will make our future.

Do they talk about 4k Blu-ray?

h265 (or .red) will be very easy to push through p2p networks

All seems to be focusing on H.265 for now...

I definitely see in the near term technology being able to push compressed 4k over the internet. Especially if Google Fiber influences the ISP industry enough to boost internet speeds. That mixed with new compressions like H.265, .red and some new ones Google is working on to bring down the bandwith of youtube, I think we'll be seeing 4k streaming over the internet in no time.

As long as there is a reason for it of course... we're going to need to see 4k computer monitors first.... But I have a feeling we may be seeing a 4K display "retina" from Apple this year with the Mac Pro.
