Does anybody know an approx. file size of a 4K video and how much bandwidth it takes to stream?

I've read that streaming an HD episode on Netflix takes around double the size of bandwidth than it would to just "download" the episode.

As convenient as streaming is, there are many countries that doesn't have the luxury of having a large/unlimited bandwidth at an affordable price.

This file from Digtalfoundry is 60hz, 2mins long and is 800MB in size.

File size is obviously linked strongly to quality.

Streaming files like these are quite difficult, now what happens when we get to VR movies at 4K+.

We have along way to progress.
