What is the future of Kaleidescape with streaming only titles?

Streaming lossless video is a little bit more complicated. Some streaming apps like Prime and iTunes on Apple TV occasionally peak to 26mbps on 4K titles and 16mbps on 2K but the average bitrates are far lower. Physical discs and Kaleidescape are 4 to 6 times these.
Thanks! You’ve kinda answered by question from a few posts back. So roughly speaking you’d need a solid 100mbps connection just for that streaming title if it were to attempt streaming the same audio/visual bit rate as the disc - and K is sometimes more than the disc.
 
One of the good reason to have K system is my main internet cable in the neighbor are damage so and only I have the mobile internet and still I can enjoy watching throw my K system without the need of net .. K will remain have the power
