What's the upshot of this, even if the article's hyperbole is accurate? I'm assuming it's not as spooky or sci-fi as the terminology sounds to a monkey like me.

It shows that it's possible to send entangled photons over existing fiber infrastructure without building something totally new, which as I understand it has applications in cryptography, secure communications, and quantum computing.
