* [[Real Life]], so far. [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/167610/may-08-2008/garrett-reisman This clip] shows how tricky surface-to-orbit conversations can be without an ansible to hand.
** Even Digital Satellite TV (e.g. DirecTV, Dish Network) is delayed about 4 seconds relative to the cable feed the shows come from. This delay is mostly due to the processing time necessary to compress the data on-the-fly, however; the actual signal-propagation delay to and from the satellite is only a quarter of a second.
