Won't this technology be very distracting with the lights constantly flickering/pulsating?

At the signaling rates they're talking about, the flicker frequency will be orders of magnitude too fast to be perceptible.

Think about the packet rate. Little flickers whenever it has something to send.

Hmm, true, but that could be remedied by transmitting the signal with something like Manchester encoding, so that the average intensity is constant whether or not data is being sent.
