I'm all for having a single time.  One time for the entire planet.

Some places, the sun would rise at 0700hrs.  Other places, it would rise
at 1900hrs.

Then, instead of needing a PhD to figure out when you need to set your
alarm clock to beable to place an international call to technical support,
you could just read "Technical Support available from 2000hrs to 1000hrs,
Monday through Friday".

It would make large scale operations easier too.  Instead of trying to
figure out if the manager wanted something done 8am his time or 8am your
time (or if it even matters), you would just know it has to be done at
0800hrs.

That's my vote.

Eric
