Why is the delay (ping) on professional TV video calls absurdly high?

548 views

So many times I see a guy video calling another crew across the country and it can take a solid 5-10 seconds before we hear them reply. I’ve seen kids in siberia with better ping.

They are probably bouncing the signal off a satellite. That would create that kind of latency. No as for ‘why don’t they just use ground connections’… I have no idea.
