4k content is doomed because of Internet greedy Internet providers and the ridiculous cost of data, at least in my Country.

Streaming 4k content is not really feasible or cost effective for about 99% of the population. And that's going forward another 5 years at least.

Unless data providers are going to have some sort of change of heart. This is a business so who are we kidding.

4k adoption is a dream, the public is not in a financial position, most 4k sets have been sold to people who had to upgrade and we're just future proofing themselves.

4k adoption is Inevitable and most premium TV sets in 2016 will be 4k. More people owned 4k TVs in America last year, then there were people who owned HD TVs in 2005. The adoption of media will be very slower (upscalling will be marketed as a solution), but the adoption of TV  is procedes the actual media.

you're off on that, a huge amount of the American population and population elsewhere aren't even familiar with what 4K is at this point. Bear in mind there is a massive amount of the general consumer popluation (this is everywhere) is still uses DVDs regularly and doesn't seem to really care about the upscaling of visuals (it is true that at some point the human eye just can't detect the differences that dramatically ), at this point DVD sales still out perform Bluray

 

I suppose my point is that immediate adoption of newer technology, whether media formats or televisions, does not seem to be jumping up very quickly these days. Probably because at some point it becomes little tweaks and improvements rather than anything particularly new
