Thanks for another interesting video !
However, stating that 80% of the world has an average download speed of 20 mbps is a little too optimistic I believe.
Referring to http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/ and http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/#region, a figure of closer to 62% would be more accurate, considering the entire world.
A quick calculation gets me to about 4.5 bln out of 7.2 bln with a download speed of minimum 20 Mbps.
South America, Africa, the Middle East (apart from the UAE), SEA (except Thailand) average below 6 Mbps. Even India, an emerging economy with more than a billion in population, doesn't get to 6Mbps.
That said, of course the real market for streaming 4K are not these regions, and those that do meet the minimum today represent a massive amount of potential viewers.
I hope that over on Ihub the bashers don't take your number of 80% as food for their "unbiased objective debunking" and make firewood out of your post with misleading arguments, as they are so good in doing just that. But that's no news.
Keep up the good work!
