Pretty much there
To my mind, it already does and has -- just not highly popular ones. ;)
Here I am thinking of C-SPAN and other government hearings/events that are livestreamed on YouTube (the most popular one I've livestreamed probably being the Congressional hearings on Apple's tax-related practices a few years ago, when Tim Cook testified).
But what about major television shows? Game of Thrones, which is one of the most popular TV shows in any given week when a new episode is featured, enjoys a substantial amount of its viewership from HBO Go and HBO Now. It's not really livestreaming, but it's worth noting here that HBO has come a long way in addressing the technical considerations of trying to meet peak demand for a single piece of content broadcast using proprietary software.

Has a massive live streaming event with tens of millions of viewers tuning at the same time really been put to the bandwidth test?

@Ariella, no, not yet. I would love to see that. But alas, I am sure there will be a fee for that.

Re: Pretty much there
@freehe most likely. Money is the motivation for putting on a show for most people and businesses.

Re: Pretty much there
Yes, I should imagine live sporting events might have a way of attracting more viewers than C-SPAN hearings. My own perception is a little off, I'm sure. I have only watched a handful of live streams...

Re: Pretty much there
@Joe Stanganelli, good point. I don't think they are there yet but are not on the path to implementing it.
