Seems bit ridiculous for author to suggest that if industry hasn't invented cheaper product it cannot be invented; clearly he is not from Silicon Valley. Companies like Google fly in the the face of that logic. Negroponte's approach doesn't involve reinventing display just using some improvements to reduce cost such as LED backlight and removing color filters. Every year or two there are many innovations in display industry that are more complicated than this. Running this as non-profit and using open open source tecnology and older products from depreciated factories also will cut costs dramatically.
