A nice way of visualising this can be 'radius of reach within n
milliseconds'. Or, 'number of people reachable within n ms'. This paper
uses that (or something very similar) to visualise the benefits of
speed-of-light internet:

That same paper uses 30 ms as an 'instant response' number, btw, citing
this: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/consciousness-temporal/empirical-findings.html
