That's a terrible summary psyorg.. quantum information is NOT classical information. You cannot use this to communicate 1's and 0's to transmit a conversation (for example), that would violate causality.

This has implications for quantum encryption (where the teleportation is used to encrypt but the data is still sent over a classical channel), or quantum computing (where the qbit would be teleported, but to get the final result the information would still have to be sent over a classical channel), or other stuff we haven't thought of yet, but not for instant communication across the solar system or getting an answer to your phone call before you placed the call.
