The speed of light is only a limit on the speed of transmitted energy within spacetime. If spacetime is expanding as Big Bang theory suggests, two points within the universe could be receding from each other at greater than the speed of light without exceeding the speed of light in their local space-time.

Say you had two ants standing on an uninflated baloon - if you blow up the balloon, the distance between the two ants will rapidly increase even if the ants don't move.
