33 megapixel Super Hi-Vision (Ultra HDTV) could be on the air in 2015

[DigitalDude]

1080p and QuadHD / 4K can take a step back, the Japanese government has announced plans to bring Super Hi-Vision (a.k.a. Ultra High Definition) to life as a broadcast standard by 2015. With its 33 megapixel (7,680 x 4,320) resolution and 22.2 channel surround sound, challenges so far have included building a camera that can record it, and equipment to transfer the 24Gbps uncompressed stream. Fortunately, some forward thinker in Japan's Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry -- that we are strongly considering as a write in candidate for the presidential elections -- is beginning a joint project with private companies to make this happen, beginning with a research investment of about $2.7 million this year alone. If you're still confused as to how much more res this is than anything you currently own, check out the handy chart....

Yaar why do post this type of news here?Post it in some american or any japaneese forums.!
I dont think this kinda boadcast will be there in India! People who are saying 2050 or 3100 or 3950 are very optimistic.
Just see the Indian condition in 3G services.Whole world is moving to 4G and we are planning to move to 3G and god knows whether my grand children or their grand children will use 3G!
