A moderately compressed bluray (1080p) can have a bandwith of 54mbps, 4k is roughly 6 times bigger resolution than 1080p. Stereoscopic 4k could be around 600mbps, right?

Nobody streams at Blu-ray bit rates.  It's absolutely pointless to do so.   The highest bit rate I've found from any stream provider is 10.5 mbps and that's for the highest quality 1920 x 1080 movies.

Nobody will be streaming 4k video feeds at Blu-ray bit rates.  Nobody.

Care to loan me your magic crystall ball? Technology goes forward, higher bandwiths will be available. We will see later next gen if there will be streaming with moderate compression.

I don't need a crystal ball.  What I need are the trade journals I read that show everybody working on more compressions schemes.  Nobody wants to run uncompressed streams when you don't need to.  You throw away bandwidth for nothing.  

Do any music streaming services stream red book audio?  No, of course not.


Who said anything about uncompressed? The post you quoted said moderate compression, like in bluray disks.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth.
