Microwave signals travel through the air at approximately the same speed as light through a vacuum and will have a latency of approximately 5.4 microseconds for every mile of path length. Light travel in optical fiber has a latency of 8.01 microseconds for every mile of cable, due to the refraction in the fiber.

We've received a lot of questions at www.tryzen99.com recently about when Uber drivers receive their 1099 (and what a 1099 even is!), so figured I'd summarize the information you need to know here. Is the 1099 a form I file? Nope - this is the tax form that a company sends to their contractors. For Uber and Lyft, the two types you might hear of are: 1099-K - for driving services. You likely won't receive one since the requirements for a 1099-K to be sent are >$20K in payments AND >200 payments.
