I have a question about 4K and streaming Netflix, etc. Is this going to destroy bandwith across the country? Or do I not know what I'm talking about?

I'll hang up and listen. And hide for being a simpleton.

There is just a ton of money being spent on the broadband network right now - with satellite competing with wireless and both competing with cable and DSL providers, customers tend to take the path of least resistance where they are.

Competition is a good thing. 4k will be introduced slowly and then expand - just like everything else. Early adopters will pay premiums which fund the availability for everyone else.

I would guess that a 4k stream would require roughly 4x as much bandwidth. So does it require more? Yes. Is this increase in demand likely to outstrip the country's current and continually improving infrastructure? I doubt it.
