I just figured that the hyperspace comms was something the Empire had previously, and the Rebels couldn't use it without at least their location being picked up, if not the transmission itself. With the New Republic in charge now, the Resistance has access to those systems without fear of the First Order being able to listen in. At least, they think so. As for the shared hyperspace corridor, we have no real precedent. Even in ROTJ, we only ever saw forward out the Falcon's cockpit. Since she led the assault, the whole rest of the Rebel fleet could have been strung out behind and we never would have seen.
And actually, the first film mention of the "outer rim" is in Star Wars. I forgot part of the scene with Biggs at the Rebel base was restored for the Special Edition. "Sir, Luke is the best bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories."
