When it says "negligible latency" what does this actually translate to?
30ms I can agree with, even up to 80ms I could see not really affecting surgery. If we're talking 300ms or higher that would take incredible patience to deal with because you will notice it on every single action taken.
as a lower bound speed of light over 5000km is just under 17ms, so 34ms for a round trip. as complete speculation, I'm guessing they got it down to around 50-60ms
