The reason UTC got put on radio was that it was "one-to-many" service and copper and coax were waaaay to expensive for that. The reason why UTC got standardized in CCITT in the first place, was for coordination between telcos. There are previous stuff from CCITT and their precursors that lays down details and protocols for handling traffic and time on international telegraph, telephone and radiotelephone connections. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
