I just wonder how cost effective it actually is, Fiber optics are not exactly free... It would be interesting to see if they could add on big light to it, so at night or when the sun goes out there would only be one light to turn on for the whole building. Generally speaking one giant machine tends to be more efficient than hundreds of little ones. I am also shocked they have not added mirrors to it, this would help with cloudy days and/or just getting more light through one "skyport".
