Anyone can provide many confirms to those signals, but he can't fake the fastest confirm to most of them, because the network latency and the physical distance between nodes.

What is the cost of a VPS? If you wanted to dominate voting by having the fastest ping times, wouldn't that be trivially achievable by renting VPSs?

good point. Renting a VPS with several IPs could be harmful.

This problem was discussed in section 6(2).

I also like to ask another question from our friend: "excluding the ping/latency property of this idea, what are differences with this proof model (PoAS) and Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) [1]?"

Under some circumstances PoAS works like DPoS. Please read the 4th section of the summary post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5094909.msg49129375#msg49129375
