Abstract
This chapter ends the book with final considerations on quantum communication networks, underlining how they can exceed classical telecommunications. Moreover, practical use cases of quantum communication networks (with their latest results) are surveyed, such as the quantum Internet of Things and quantum distributed synchronization.
