While other research groups had successfully transmitted quantum information alongside classical data streams in simulations of the internet, Kumar’s team was the first to teleport a quantum state alongside an actual internet stream.

For anyone not familiar: this leads to nothing, a least at this point.
Entanglement does not allow transfer of data, only mirror. So a Netflix company may be able to directly share an entire movie eventually instantaneously.
This development is not that.
I doubt that would be the eventual use case. This is more likely to be used to make sure no one has looked at data you have sent to a specific individual/party.
