you would be better off with plans that don't require beating the speed of 
light. Yes, quantum entanglement may be a path to beat the speed of light, but 
you still need the electronics to handle it, and have the speed of sound at 
temperatures and pressures that humans can live at as a restriction.

by comparison to your 1ms latency goals, extensive AT&T phone testing decades 
ago showed that 100ms was the threshold where people could start to detect a 
delay.
