There still needs to be more, viable 4K content Tony, but I don't disagree with you at all.
I suspect this is why Apple's been holding up their launch of a major Apple TV product- waiting for 4K panels and content, and bandwidth to proliferate.
No sense firing blanks into an already flooded 1080p market.

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.
