What was "inside" UTC didn't mater to them, UTC was the accepted
international timescale and they used it as such.

Oh, I see - the "telcos". How do they define it? Is there a standard or
guideline they use, or is it just "common practice"?

The main reason CCITT got into UTC standardisation, was to make it
possible to precisely schedule and bill international tele-traffic.


What CCITT recommendation are you refering to?

It was CCIR that did the broadcasting recommendations that we keep refering to.
