Please excuse my absolute ignorance, but I was under the impression that classical information channel was only required to transmit one of the entangled photons. If one of the entangled photons (or what ever it is that is entangled) was transported elsewhere (truck, fiber optics, what-not) the two entangled would still maintain the same state (spin etc) and information could then be transmitted faster than light by changing the state of one and reading the state of the other.
I'm sure I just displayed my ignorance and lack of any understanding of QT, but there are sure to be others with this same understanding so it may be worth while pointing out where I've got this wrong.
Is your last sentence "You cannot do that with classical means, because you'd need to measure the state, thereby collapsing it into a classical state." the reason why this does not work?
