Says who? Being a "SMART TV" does not absolve them of streaming rate issues....The dirty-secret is that 4K TV's moved AHEAD of everyone, including Cable's WILLINGNESS to allow the U.S. consumer access.
U.S. avg. streaming rate is 8.7Mbps (according to the "State of the Internet"'s LATEST REPORT). Smart TV's are not going to CHANGE THAT!
What "Smart TV's" are STREAMING at the LOWER BITRATES?
Moreover ALL THE SMARTER (non-Smart TV) buyers will get HUGE value for their money by going the NanoTech Bundle route (whether that is Seiki &/or grows to include OTHER manufacturers) as they'll get functional QUALITY & greater VALUE sooner - for their buck!
NTEK is EXPLOITING a competitive advantage they foresaw evolving.
