Echo cancellation reduces echo, it doesn't do anything to delay except
potentially add to it. Delay doesn't show up as an echo - echo is due to
mismatches; delay is due to propagation delays, processing delays, and
similar time-wasters.

Has anybody ever heard of Echo-Cancelling devices? These can mitigate the
effect of the "bounce" to a great degree. Also, to compensate further,
"Reverb" can be added to flesh out tone and timbre.

just some info

Multi-jump communications would create unacceptable delay in a voice
conversation due to the speed of light and the distance to the
satellites. Even a single jump causes a noticeable and annoying delay.
That's why trans-Atlantic/Pacific cables remain popular.

Cables are popular because they're *cheaper* than satellites
(per unit of delivered bandwidth) what with the incredible advances
in fiber optics.
