UHD needs minimum 17mbps, but can use up to 30mbps if it's available.  Yes, just like the multiple HD formats.

And you can bet people will watch half of them in their first month.  17 may not sound like a lot, plus you may say who cares about Disney, but with the new streaming entrants competing fiercely for customers, I think 4K is going to be a thing.  I don’t think we can dismiss it as nobody streams in 4K.  Seems like 4K content will be something they compete on, although the current thing seems to  be lowball prices which I suspect cannot last forever.

Something I wonder about is whether there will be multiple video qualities of UHD, just like HD can go from about 2.5M to about 6M.  I swear I am seeing customers streaming at 10M, I don’t know if that is some form of super super HD, or a lite version of UHD which I normally expect to use 15 to 25M.
