What do you think about infrared wallpaper?

I recently read this interesting article: Farewell radiators? Testing out electric infrared wallpaper and wondered if anyone in the community had come across/tried it?

It seems like a good innovation, certainly space-saving and probably more efficient and green, but I can't help wondering how easy would it be to maintain? What happens if something goes wrong? Do you rip out the plaster to fit a new 'sheet' of wallpaper? It seems like it would only be suitable for new builds. Can you imagine how much upheaval it would cause to install it behind plaster in older homes? Although older homes are surely where the energy efficiencies need to be made. 

With rising temperatures, I wonder if future versions of it can be used to cool homes as well as heat them? Thinking

If costs came down, do you think you would have infrared wallpaper in your home?
