Here's some un-informed speculation on my part:
If this is true and Jobs' "I've solved the TV problem" actually involves a way of sending and receiving 4K files over the internet to an iTV and Apple makes a deal with studios (or buys the studios) for first run movies priced like expensive par per view events, it could mean a goodbye to the theater chains.
Like I said, pure uninformed day dreaming. And no I didn't smoke anything.
Now i'm going back to work....

This means that transmitting compressed 4K might not be all that difficult. I haven't done the math at all but I wouldn't be surprised if you could to really good looking compressed 4K at just over the HD data rate. This was studied and presented in a paper over ten years ago (guessing from memory) as high def telecines and scanners started to come into the scene.
