-- Radio waves in free space move at the speed of light. --

Yes, I know. But the maximum rate of information transmission depends on the time interval between "bits" of information. More information can be delivered in one second on a high freque3ncy carrier, than on a low frequency carrier - even though both carriers move at the same speed.

Morse code travels at the speed of light too, just to give an example at the "low frequency" end of the spectrum.
