The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has signed a distribution agreement with trading technology company Intergence to deliver NPLTime - a new service providing a precise time signal directly traceable to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and independent of GPS.
Great, if you live in Canary Wharf. (There will be one hub in the London Docklands, according to the 2-page brochure, with the "last mile" delivered by dedicated, certified Ethernet link from NPL's rack at the hub to the customer's premises.) Clearly designed to serve the financial industry. One nice feature is that traceability is certified to the customer's premises.
I'd love to know what it costs (when speculating, keep in mind that it was designed to serve the financial industry and is likely priced accordingly).
Also, are customers contractually prohibited from selling further distribution of certified time services?
