MPEG 4... so 1080p?

According to readings about initial HDTV broadcast service, the reason that no broadcaster started supplying a 1080p video feed is because the required bandwidth would be too much to legally pass over the cables according to FCC ruling at the time. And for years, those in the know have been saying 1080p is perfectly possible even with bog-standard component video cables (YPbPr/YCbCr).

So now that they are moving to MPEG-4 encoding, does that mean that we can start to expect to see broadcast feeds coming in at 1080p? Or are they still hanging on to 1080i/720p?

Seems like it would be a killer app for 1080p TV manufacturers if the broadcasters can start pumping out 1080p content ASAP.
