Lads I'm fairly sure* that information can not be communicated any faster than C. The Entangled photon still has to be transmitted across the wire/fiber at relativistic speeds. I think it's value to crypto comes from the fact that it cant be fudged with along the way without messing up the entanglement.
*Not a quantum boffin, this stuff hurts my brain too.
And the Network Operator supplying the signal can charge the Operator of the Customer a premium to recover the cost of servicing that area. If customers carriers are being hit with big bills from the supplying Carrier then it just creates a bigger incentive for the customers carrier to go build out some infrastructure in that area = better coverage = ? profit (or less loss, all the same). win win!
