Azred, youve made the same mistake Einstein made. ERP pairs do *not* allow for FTL communication. What can happen is that a single quantum wave function can be made to describe both particals despite the fact they can be at an infinite distance. Collapsing this wavefunction collapses it for both of them, but there is no way to control the result and once its collapsed the particals are no longer linked in any way.
Even if you could control the result youd have to carry one partical per bit of information.
FTL communication through a micro-wormhole is a more practical proposition. In both techniques though both ends of the link would have to be formed in contact and then moved - theres no way for humans to build one end and aliens another, you cant target a wormhole.
