I think this would make things develop along interesting lines. It would allow information and goods to be transported across any distance, but standard vehicles would still be necessary for moving people around. Depending on how advanced you wanted to make the tech, you could even have manned space missions that didn't need to bring along much in the way of supplies, because they could be restocked from Earth at any point.
They could have incredible performance because fuel could be teleported continuously.

What happens if someone stumbles through a teleporter accidentally (or intentionally)?
