Rich, for the telephone companies (if they still use the TDM technology), the issue is not the correct time, but that the time is well synchronised (they don't care so much about what time it is, but that it is the same). For that, the GPS time base is quite adequate.

FWIW, it's now common practice for broadcasters, telephone companies and other organisations to set their master time systems from a GPS receiver rather than the old method of using a WWV short wave receiver. Now, if I could just figger out how to get up in the morning.... Rich Knowles Indigo. LF38 Halifax
