For those thinking that this is a step towards faster-than-light (FTL) communication: As far as I know it's fairly certain that quantum entanglement will not allow for FTL communication. Basic principle is that while measurements between both sides will be correlated, it's not possible to tell how they are correlated until both sides compare measurements.

Given that, it seems like the touted benefit of using quantum entanglement here is in securing communications, since your measurements will no longer correlate if a third party is also measuring? At least, that's what I gathered.
