I believe that FTL communication (if it's achievable) will start out in data centers at small scales. Perhaps millimeters.
Possibly as an extension of Quantum Computing where some probabilistic asymmetry can be taken advantage of. The QC itself might not be faster than classical computing, but the FTL comms could improve memory and cache access.
Also MetaGoog will use it to serve up hyper personalized ads in their Gemini based Metaverse.
