Just to clarify, I was solving for radius. Diameter would be 2x, and circumference would be 2pi larger. So 11.6 million km circumference for the 24-hour rotating ring. If you had a trans-ring commute, at 100 kph, that would take you about 6 years 7 months one way. A jet aircraft operating at nearer 1,000 kph would cut that to a far more manageable 7 months. Though I'd still use it as a reasonable argument for return-to-office. Ping times would still be about 38 seconds even for free-vacuum direct transmission, around the ring itself. Given lightspeed is reduced to about 66% of its in vacuo* value in fibre optics, you'd have almost exactly a 1 minute delay. Something to keep in mind during those Ring Zoom sessions.
