Jumpgates/holes/tradelanes, what do they do for us?

[Mr.Fabulous]

So far these are just my thoughts on what these things do for us, based on some forethought, common sense, and a bit of research.

1. They warp space-time to make space travel shorter. Gates are the reliable versions of holes, while tradelanes are the smaller-scale stuff and allows users to "stop" in mid-warp for destinations in-between the lanes
   
2. I think I read somewhere that FTL-communication is also handled by these 3 things. Gates/lanes manipulate space-time to not only accommodate ships, but also signals and data, allowing for rapid communication and the existence of the Neural Net. Holes, I'm guessing, are used by setting up comm buoys and satellites near strategic areas where holes are patterned to open up (assuming that, IRP, holes close, then open at different areas, explaining why they're hard to find), and the buoys "shove" the signals and data through them, hoping the other side receives them. This allows the edgeworlds access to the Neural Net, but it's often unreliable and laggy.
   

If I missed anything, please post it here (serious topic, pls). I'm asking for the mechanics of jumpgates/holes/lanes to explore possibilities for a potential RP-story involving Daam K'vosh Hypergates.
