Light stopped in its tracks

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1124540.stm

Summary: A scientist found out a way to stop light, and start it up again by bringing a container to near absolute 0, and injecting a cloud of Sodium and trapping the light in it.

It's quite amazing really. Before they were able to slow it down, but now they've completely stopped it. Imagine all the applications! With this, we are now completely able to control light (well almost completely). Technology as we know it is going to change dramatically. Holograms will no longer be science fiction

What do you guys think?
