Streaming media is not as tolerant of network delays as static content, primarily because the overriding qualification for streaming delivery is not download speed. Streaming media requires constant bandwidth availability and consistent connection reliability during transmission. There are several areas where providers of technologies and services have improved the capabilities for delivering streaming media, offering better content quality and larger network pipes. However, more work is still required in terms of security (when it comes to 4K content) in order to drive hardware adoption in the market.
