Well... I think the idea is once you can reliably send a photon, you can start sending entangled photos. Then you can use those to build networking hardware that transmits bits instantly.
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to transmit bits "instantly" i.e. faster than light under the current quantum theory or relativity theory, you can't transmit information faster than the speed of light. If somebody found a way to do that, we'd be rewriting the laws of physics, and that would be a big deal for sure.
