Short answer, no.
As you've observed, even under theoretically perfect conditions, the latency is much more than would be tolerable for true real-time applications. And that's not even counting the time spent in hardware, on the various cpus in the path, buffers, etc.
- tsenkov 12y agoWhat about a fragmentation of the area - what would be the radius from your location where you would be able to collaborate with others at <=10 milliseconds of latency?

- 6d0debc071 12y agoRoughly 2997 kilometres, with C as the speed.
- tsenkov 12y agoWhat about with C' (being the current state-of-the-art/max)? I guess the current speed, judging by [1] is about 200000 km/s (for light in optical fibre), which leads to 2000 km radius (or diameter, if more than 2 parties are involved).
