Well, 8k streams do exist and have peaks over 50 MBit/s. Of course, compression is used, but that's not a big deal. I don't think you have to see the end of copper right away. The in-house wiring won't be the bottleneck for quite a while, if ever. For Dolby Atmos, you mainly need suspended ceilings and walls to be able to integrate the maximum number of speakers. Putting Atmos on 5.1, 7.1, or 9.1 is nice, but misses the point. So the copper cable is the smallest problem. Per LAN, per access point per floor.
8k streams... from the net or what? Like 4k on YouTube? That's all not comparable and far from practical... on YouTube, moreover, with an insanely poor quality. Have you ever seen 4k YouTube and "real" 4k on a 4k TV? There's worlds between them! It has to be that way... because otherwise, no one in the third-world country Germany would be able to stream 4k YouTube.
For example, I streamed The Hobbit in 3D/HD as a Blu-ray ISO here... Peak 110mbit/s. The NAS is about 30 meters cable length away... with a 100 mbit network I couldn't get it to run smoothly. I'm always talking about streaming over the network! Not about playing from a player on the TV! The data volume of 8k is 16 times as large. With various 4k movies, I have a peak of >300mbit.
