Entangled Light, stopped and stored

Quantum Entanglement might be one of the weirdest things in quantum physics partially because it seems to defy the rule that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.  This article from Scientific American talks about how now scientists are playing around with stopping two entangled particles for a moment before putting them back into motion.  Perhaps the thing that really always interests me with quantum entanglement is the perceived idea that perhaps this could someday lead to near instantaneous communication regardless of distance and even possibly time (though I have read that this is mostly science fiction as most modern physicists do not believe quantum entanglement is capable of producing such technology).
