But it doesn't seem to affect mobile phones etc?

Mobile phone calls do have small buffering/encoding delays, more
noticeable if you call someone in the same room,

How often do you phone someone that is in the same room as you?

Teenagers do it all the time.
I traveled with a train load of them a few months back, they were texting persons sat a few yards away and speaking to persons only a little further by phone.

Weird eh?
