my back-of-the-envelope says you'd need ~13-14 megabytes/sec of download speed to stream full-fat UHD 4k equivalent to the disc content.

arguably be more cost effective to get a streaming license for the title and have it delivered "best possible res" whenever you watch.

Don't you get tired of buying the exact same content on optical disks at increasing res? DVD (480p), Blu-Ray (1080p), Blu-Ray UHD (4k)

OK, I finally bought my first Blu-Ray w/3D and I can confim, the 3D effect is vastly improved with native encoding / large file sizes.
