Tony,

Thank you for the draft.

Well, I doubt the argument.  I suspect the authors talk about in-core 
latencies; maybe they compare ISL latencies above a city to the in-core 
latency of network segments in that same city.  In that sense they might 
be right.

On another hand, if one looks at latency from a smartphone or home user 
in a City point of view, it appears that few might prefer satcom latency 
to fiber latency - satcom access is way too latent.

However, it is indeed possible for satcom access to aim for a same kind 
of latency (or even lower) that the best fiber access can afford.

The recently published Next G paper has also a goal "90. Need to 
decrease Round Trip Time (RTT) in non-terrestrial networks:"

>>
>>   Satellite networks present some interesting challenges for packet
