My turn to teach you now -
"when the early ships went out, communication between colonies was unbelievably slow. When we established the Tradelines, we set up relay stations along them, to push messages. I won't go into the mechanics of it, but faster. But if you're not within range of a relay station, you'd have to send a ship out there, until someone came up with Sibril lines, which can do it remotely."
