goldtrapper, Is there more to the SONY/FIFA 4K coverage that I don't know about (sorry if I should know)? Seems if the SONY route is the only 4K coverage, that it's not going to be a live 4k stream (see below) but rather a 4k post produced film. If SONY holds the rights to it, and NTEK doesn't have access to those rights, the world cup may not do much for us directly. ANY 4k coverage of any major sporting event ultimately helps us but I'm not seeing a direct connection here to NTEK being able to stream coverage.

FIFA will leverage Sony’s professional 4K equipment within its 4K live production workflow processes at the 2014 FIFA World Cup to film one match from the round of 16 (to be held on 28 June), one quarter-final (on 4 July), and the final (on 13 July) at the Estadio Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro. Sony will be providing extensive technical support to FIFA, including the development of a 4K live production system. Sony’s products and solutions, including its CineAlta™ 4K live camera “PMW-F55”, 4K multi port AV storage unit “PWS-4400”, 4K LCD monitor “PVM-X300”, and 4K multi-format switcher “MVS-7000X”(subject to change), will be used to film the 2014 FIFA World Cup™. The filmed 4K footage will be compiled into the Official 4K Film.
