I just want to say something to the naysayers. If you read more closely, this work is being funded by DARPA. If that is your criteria for predicting failure, just look to the Internet, another DARPA-funded creation. Reading further on, the research team is not just creating another "academic" solution, but is pursuing all avenues that will provide an end-user usable solution - hardware, software, the whole package. It's taken them about 7 years to get this far, and if DARPA is still funding them after 7 years, then there must be something real to this.
