The use of the term Organic LED, leads me to suspect that they might be building on technology developed in Cambridge, UK - Light Emitting Polymers. BTW i'm a brit!
Biological life and particularly bacteria has existed on this planet for millions of years. In all that time the probability that a bacterial deformed cell division resulted in the the sequence of genes proposed by these scientists is quite high.
If that new bacterium were so destructive and hence successful, it would still be around today.
Therefore IMO the bacteria they create will be next to useless, and therfore no threat to us. One could probably work out the probabilities, but I can't be bothered. What do you think?
The bandwidth is defined as per user. The link previously posted is http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wi reless/wspg/wspgapb.htm has all the details, the bandwidth allocated is 6MHz or 12MHz per user! Thus allowing approx 22Mb or 44Mb connections respectively.
I wanna live in a van, and stick an appropriate atenna of my roof to get this access. That would be cool!
But the ideal interface for a particular individual should be phsychologically determined.
I like winamp and 3d-ftp because you can change the interface to suit your own particular aesthetic preferences. If you took that one step further, and enabled applications and more likely OSes to figure out how the user will most efficiently use the appication, OS etc. and then reconfigure the information presentation and editing facilities to conform to the user rather than the other way round the unwashed masses (and even our) frustration with UIs would be greatly reduced. Add in a bunch of aesthetic preferences, and you would have apps that are operationally and visually tailored to the user.
Actually designing and coding such a freak OS is another matter entirely but reality sucks.

Note, we probably copied it from the US in the first place...doh!
For a run down see
Cambridge Display Technologies - Technical Info
it gives a good technical overview of the technology.
Effectively since it is all on a polymer substrate they can make screens into an shape or size, e.g. a Display wrapped around a glass!
IIRC they had problems with premature burnout, i.e. after about ~5000 hours the display quality deteriorated rapidly. QFX
