That can be true of the public network, although even then it may
be more so for the more engineering oriented layers, like bearer
synchronisation, than the more commercial oriented layers, like
call detail recording.

However, it is very definitely not true of most PABX systems, which
typically have wristwatch and eyeball set times and run in local
time, with no automatic daylight saving switch, and have no high quality
frequency standard.

At least one PABX type consistently gets the start time wrong, even if
it its clock is set properly.
