It may be that Veritasium is wrong in supposing the "radio" transmission of energy lights up a lamp immediately, but it is demostrably true that a modest fraction of the available energy is transfered to the lamp in nanoseconds via transmission line effects. 
In turn, Tycho may have an admirable "physics attitude" in particular when he asserts he has  no specialist insight in the field during this video expose, but some exposure to transmission  line theory   (which tends to be thin in the US) would help him.
