Wireless gaming question

Kind of a weird question I think, maybe someone could answer this?
Wireless is frowned upon in the gaming world generally because of "ping"
or latency issues.

Could someone give me some kind of idea of the latency that could be
expected when one connects to a US server in say, California, from a
WiMax hotspot in the middle of Africa? Wired latency is pretty high
from California to Kenya for instance, I was curious if the situation
improves any when you're talking WiFi or WiMax instead.

I really don't know a great deal about wireless networking but I'd
assume the "network path" is your hotspot in Kenya, up to the satellite,
back down to the hotspot that is hopefully near the game server in
California. If anyone could shed some light on this I'd be grateful.
