Delay question

[edit]

This article says this:
"The satellites sit at an altitude of 35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi); a noticeable delay is present while making a phone call or using data services due to the large distance from users."
My question: Everything in the EM travels at the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. Shouldn't it only be a very small delay?--Wyn.junior (talk) 02:06, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
