I suspect that it depends on how your view of Internet is.  From where
I am physically located, RTT to my company's internal network is
around 200ms.  It is the normal RTT I live with for doing my day to
day work.  I hope folks won't take a "country-centric" view on Internet
traffic.  People all over the world are communicating with each other.
The Internet is really not that "small..."
