It was discussed in Ender's Shadow. Bean and Nickolai were talking about instant communication, and Nickolai was saying about how he doesn't like to rule things out because they are supposed to be impossible. Bean later realized that it was true when the programmer of the training simulators on Eros told him it wasn't worth programming the time delay in, and I think it was Graff who later explained to Bean that it was stolen from the Buggers when Earth took Eros from them.
