SMPTE 274M--the same standard that defines 1080i--defines 1080p as a transmission standard as well. Whether anyone "is equiped [sic] to broadcast it" or not, it's still a standard.
And from what I've seen, it is fast becoming (if not already) a standard universal mastering format.
The DVD is already compressed. DVDs are just MPEG2s at 720x480 (if NTSC). For more info see here and here. 190MB/minute is uncompressed 1080p HDTV (without audio). I doubt it will ever be delivered uncompressed.

Um, have you ever done raw video work?
At 190MB per second of 1920x1080 24fps (1080p HDTV standard) 16-bit YUV 4:2:2 video, even if you have a TB (~1024 GB), saving just the LoTR-FoTR (178 minutes) would require ~1.9 TB. And that's JUST the video...audio not included. Now granted, perhaps you didn't mean uncompressed at mastering quality, but 1080p is an eventuality and appears to be THE emerging mastering standard for film.
You'd need several terabytes to store more than a few movies at production quality raw...but why in the hell would you want to?

almost equivalent...only better. Interlacing is a stupid idea.
