And who in their right mind would trust their body to a Microsoft powered teleporter ?
Imagine how many viruses you`d have when you got reassembled !

The important part here is not that you can transmit information, but that you can transmit it instantaneously - faster than light. Theoretically you could communicate to somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy this way, in an instant.

Which means we've broken the "information faster than the speed of light" barrier.

I'd like to see them set up an actual transmitter/reciever based on this stuff, just so they can repeat "Come here watson, I want you."

 2. As well as its potential use as a teleport, couldn`t it be used as a duplicator?

the state of an atom can be transferred, but putting it on its on place in a three dimensional axis is kinda hard I think

It would provide a great foundation for light-year-"resistant" walkie talkies (that year of lag really dampens the conversation). I doubt anything beyond communication will come of it though
