My own speculation is that the security community and its interests are perhaps a bit broader than than some members wish it were.
If you want to see some interesting physics that represents unexpected results relevant to communications (and comes from entangled QKD research) then take a look at: http://pra.aps.org/abstract/PRA/v81/i2/e023835
This is interesting. However, even if you can use LoS up to LEO, the question is of what the added value of a (supposedly, trend in QC state cloning attacks is there) tamperproof exchange is over traditional cryptography. I agree with Perry that it solves a non-problem.
There is a human-readable summary at: http://focus.aps.org/story/v25/st7
